John, this is a pc-tv that I referenced. There are others that have only basic features
http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/ ... r2250.htmlDid you use the VGA ? Your brand of tv remote device, should let you select the tv input, and that should be VGA or HDMI if that is what you used.
Also, if your screen saver turns off the computer video card, your tv will show the VGA as not available. Press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse, to wake it up and then the tv will get the signal again.
