Hi, I am trying to get my TV to function as a monitor so I can play DVD movies on the big screen.
I dug out some parts that came in the 9800 Pro box and plugged the S-Video/whatever-the-hell-you-call-the-yellow-video-cable adapter into the card and stuck that same yellow video cable into it, plugging the other end into the yellow video cable port on the back of my TV (my tv has no s-video port).
I would think that would be all I need, but I can't get anything to show up on my TV screen. I tried pressing the tv/video button on the remote but all it did was make the screen go black. I tried opening up the ati control panel in display properties->advanced->displays and selecting the tv option (strangely enough my monitor was still working just as usual when I did this), and still no picture on the TV.
What am I doing or not doing? I'd love to get this set up soon, if anyone has experience with this problem I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks!
