I think you could get a video card which have a s-video output.

You can get a S-Video to SCART adapter if your TV doesnt have S_Video in. If your PC has a VGA socket then most modern TV's also have VGA so you may be able to use that.

You can also convert DVI to HDMI (and the other way) as they carry the same signals (but you will lose audio)

So your saying that THIS adaptor will do the job?and no i don't have a VGA socket either.

Just read that this cable will NOT connect the TV out on a laptop or PC to your TV
