Well, two ways: 1) using a video card with a s-video out, "display to tv" on that video card, and use the tv-in on the laptop to read/display the signal. 2) similar to (1) but if the video card doesn't have s-video out, buy a scan converter for ~$80.

I have a "Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS" which comes with an antenae and remote and all kinds of good things. Used it when I was in Germany for 6 weeks without a tv; just swapped in my laptop :-) - Rob .
