Hey anandtechers...

I bought the geforce 2 ultra video card a few months ago with the DVI and TV outputs. I was wondering if anyone could help by explaining to me how to connect my TV to the video card by using the yellow video in jack on the TV and either the TV or DVI out in the video card. I have a Digital coaxial cable in which one side can fit into the TV but I'm not sure if there's supposed to be some type of adapter that can be used so that I can connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the video card. If anyone has any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank You,
Mike

By the way...here's a link to what the back of my video card looks like...

I just use the S-out cable and everything was cool, but the resolution sucks on the TV!

What S-out cable? My video card didn't come with any cables...maybe because it was an OEM version?

My card did NOT have any cables. I already had one. You can buy at Radio Shack, etc.

So there are S-video out cables that have RCA jacks that go into the tv? If so, can you please show me a link at the radioshack site because I couldn't find it.

Thanks cmaMath

Yes, That looks like it will work. Be aware that video card may NOT be able do do FULL screen. I have a large tv, so it only used about 2/3 of the screen.

I went to Radioshack and they said that they don't have a cable that has an S-video on one end and RCA on the other. Do you remember where you bought your's at cmaMath? Does anyone else know where to get one or if they make them? Thanks...
