How to connect my laptop to my television?

I want to watch a television show that I missed on my laptop, but I want to connect to my telvision.

Does anyone know how to do this

Hi,

What is the model of laptop?

If it has an S-Video port, you need to get an S-Video cable. Hook one end into the S-Video port and another end into a composite cable. Then plug the composite cable into the TV based on its color (red into red, yellow into yellow, white into white). Put the other yellow end into your computer's microphone port. Then close the lid and open it again to reset the computer monitor. It should work.

Well, I think you need to have a tv tuner. I have one on my desktop and it works really well, I even get to record tv.

Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Steps
1 Step OneMakes sure the television has the proper connections. Some older televisions are not equipped with the connections necessary to connect the laptop to the television. An S-video connection is the most common means of connection. (See resources for S-video cable examples)

2 Step TwoCheck the laptop to make sure there is a video capable of connecting to the television. Not all laptops come equipped with a TV-out video card. Another option is installing Mpeg decoder card if laptop has no connectors. (See resources for M-peg decoder cards). The drawback of the Mpeg card is that it does not play Divx or .mov files.

3 Step ThreeObtain the correct cable to connect the PC laptop and the television. S-video cables are the most common cable and the easiest to connect. VGA is another cable option. VGA is a regular monitor cable that connects the two. This option is only available for HDTVs.

4 Step FourConnect the laptop to the television. Make certain that both the TV and laptop are off before making the connection. When turning the television on make sure that the appropriate video mode is activated. For instance, if an S-video cable is used set the video option on the television to S-video. On the laptop set the video output to the correct source. Please consult the owner's manual, because steps for changing the setting vary for each laptop model.

Tips & Warnings
If the television is missing the necessary connection, check the DVD player for the connection and connect through the DVD.
