ummmm.... short answer: no. You just hook the cables to your TV as if you were conecting a VCR; whenever you want to watch your Quake3/DVD/DiVx on your TV, you just change to "Aux" on your remote (or whatever the function is called).

However, all video cards output to TV at a maximum of 800x600 resolution, so you need to change your desktop size acordingly. Some cards do it automatically, when you choose TV instead of VGA. Others don't, you need to do it manually.
