Howto Connect your PC to your TV @ Madshrimps

"Every now and then I hear questions about the TV-out on people´s videocards. "What is it for? Can you connect a TV to it? Can you REALLY connect a TV to it? Sure? Wow, that´s great. How do I do that?" Answering these questions once is funny. Anwering them twice is ok. Anwering them three times and it´s getting a routine. I was sooooo mad and tired of people asking me how to connect a TV to a PC, I actually conquered my lazyness and wrote this howto. Don´t ask that question again. Ever. RTFM. Period."

That’s just over five hours worth of uninterrupted work while on the move — ideal for those travelling sales reps and the like."
