BTW, your computer has VGA out, but no S-Video out. I seriously doubt your TV has VGA in, so you'll need to buy a VGA to S-Video adapter.

depends on the tv, mine has vga in.

It depends on the connections on both the TV as well as the computer if you have VGA on both then you can go VGA to VGA if not you may have to go hdmi to VGA which will require an adapter to accomplish that since there is not a straight cable which offers both of those connections as far as I know.  Basically as long as you have both the same connection on the computer and the television then you are golden remember tho s video wont do it because it only transmits images not audio

I think it depends on what kind of TV you have. Not all TV's will be compatible with such a setup. I've heard of "WebTV" a long time ago. Don't know if they're still around. Maybe do a google search for TV based internet.
