Television and Home Theater

Hi,

I've spent the last 2 hours trying to set up my Acer laptop so that I can play videos on my TV, to no avail. I'm using an S Video to Scart cable, and the audio is working but no pictures, ive tried ctrl+alt+f2 which didn't work, so im pretty stuck.

Any ideas would be great as it cost me £12 for the cable, and i don't want to give in to this bloody computer

cheers guys

I have an RCA F20351SF (I know it is old) and the picture appears to drop in the tube. I can temporary correct the problem by turning the unit off or by playing with the coaxil cable in the back. Any suggestions for a fix or what may be causing the problem.

Thank you.

I have two red vertical lines that appear at about 1/3 and then again 2/3 across the screen of my Toshiba 43" rear projection TV.

Strangely, the lines don't appear while watching HDTV, but they do appear watching regular digital cable and analog cable and also DVDs.

Any ideas what this might be?
