You need two things:
1. A video card with a TV Out connection.
2. The right cable to connect this with the video-in connection on your TV.

The rest is more or less self-explanatory.


Hope this helps.

Most are a scam or else charge you to send a list of free websites.

In addition to the advice about getting a video card with a TV out- that's the easiest way, but there are also converters that you buy.
