Question

Answer 1

You can do this but your computer must have S- video output if it doesnt you can get a video card that has this feature just connect the pc to the tv through the s- video cable and it should work. google this so you can see for yourself.

Answer 2

i've seen it done, but i don't remember exactly how... i think you need to get a converter cable from the current jack in the back of your computer to RCA

Answer 3

Depends on your TV and your computer.

The best was is if you have new HD TV, you probaby have an HDMI interface on your TV.  If your computer has a DVI output, you can connect the DVI output to the TV HDMI input with an inexpensive DVI to HDMI cable.

Some "home theater"  PCs or video cards have HDMI connectors built-in.  

My son's laptop has an s-video output.  I have connected this s-video output to the TV video s-video input and I have connected the audio out to the TV  and watched TV shows we downloaded from Amazon Unbox.

Some PCs have an RCA connector (typically yellow) and you can connect that to the RCA composite video connector on your TV.

Check the owner's manual for your PC and/or video card and your TV.
