Vid card S-video to TV

I have a card that has the S-video output and wanted to connect it to the TV so that when I see a video on the web, I can watch it on the bigger screen. Is there a guide somewhere that shows how to set this up? I'm using a 6600GT card. Thanks.
 
do u have the svideo/component dongle that comes with the card or whatever it uses?
do you have an s-video cable?
does your tv have svideo?
 
have u gotten any video to show up on the tv at all yet? have u plugged everything in? click nView Display Settings and set nView Display Mode to Dualview, then set the tv to the 2nd monitor and set it to 640x480.
 
I don't know of a guide to link you to, but if you're using the classic control panel, then after your TV is connected to your video card via S-video, change your TV mode to Svideo input, and on your computer go to your display properties.

From there, go to the settings tab, then click advanced, then go to the 6600GT tab. There should be a new window with graphics settings...the first of which is nView Display Settings. Go there, and under nView display mode, choose Dual View and apply. Alternately, you can try clone and see which you like better. It should automatically pick up your TV and begin displaying to it.

You can play with resolution and what not afterwards. Hope that gets you going!
