Re: Re: Will I ever learn , TV out Question..

["Eamon O Gorman" <eamonogorman@xxxxxxx>]

On the upside of it, my replacement PC is an upgraded model.... TV OUT, and
1.7G processor, and 256M ram, as opposed to 1.3g 128M ram with no TV out,
so
tge glass is half full so to speak...

Anyway, on the TV out question, anyone using this for any interesting
purposes ? I have an RF modualtor, which I was thinking of using to display
pc screen on all telly's in the house. What I need I suppose is a lead
which
converts it to a phono lead. I could make one up if I knew the opinouts on
the PC side ? Does anyone know what they are ? Also, what would be the best
way of controlling the PC from rooms with a telly, if I manage to get TV
picture displayed ?

Thanks,
Eamon
