Features Piss on your TV

Piss on your TV

Hook up your computer to a big screen TV and voila -- streaming your favorite watersports videos is like having your own virtual piss club available 24 hours a day.

If you have a newer digital TV then hooking up your PC to your TV may be a very simple procedure (though it may require buying an inexpensive adaptor cable). There are three basic types of connections, each using a different cable set. Depending on your PC and TV, you might be able to choose which one of the three works best for you. If you have older equipment, only one of them may work.

Here's a quick overview of the three basic types of connections. For more information and specific instruction see below or refer to your TV manufacturer guide. If you don't have the cable you need to hook up, the Radio Shack usually has everything you will need. Make sure that you purchase cables that are long enough to traverse the distance between your Computer and TV.

S-Video

Newer computers have an S-Video or Super Video connection. Your TV may also have the S-Video jack. If you have S-Video, then this is probably the easiest and best method to use.
VGA Connection

If your computer does not have a video out, then you can use your standard VGA port, which is the same port monitors use.
Composite Video

A standard video composite jack found on newer computers, usually yellow.

S Video

If you have a S-Video or Super Video connection on both your PC and TV, this is the easiest option for connecting your computer to TV. If you have a newer Digital / HD TV then this is the option for you.

What You Need:
1. S-Video Cable (for the video)
2. Miniplug-To-RCA Stereo Audio Cable (for audio)

Connecting:
For Video: Connect one end of the S-video cable to the video output on your computer and the other end to the S-Video on your TV (if your TV does not have an SVideo input, then plug the other end into the video input on your TV.

For Audio: Plug the single connector end of the audio cable to the line-out/ speaker-out connector on your computer. Plug the 2 RCA connectors on the other end of the audio cable into the the left and right channel audio inputs on your TV.

VGA

For those of you that do not have a video out on your computer, use a VGA port. In general, if you have an older TV then this is the option for you.

What You Need:
1. VGA Monitor Cable
2. Miniplug-To-RCA Stereo Audio Cable

If your TV does not have a VGA input then you will need a VGA-To-TV Converter. If your TV does not have the right and left channel audio inputs, then you will need an audio adaptor for your TV.

Connecting:
For Video: Connect one end of the VGA cable to the VGA output on your computer and the other end to the VGA inut on your TV. If you do not have a VGA input on your TV then you will need an adaptor specific your TV. The folks at Radio Shack can help with this.

For Audio: Plug the single connector end of the audio cable to the line-out/ speaker-out connector on your computer. Plug the 2 RCA connectors on the other end of the audio cable into the the left and right channel audio inputs on your TV. If your TV does not have left and right audios channel inputs, then you will either need an audio adaptor or a different connector. Again, Radio Shack is your best bet for finding the right parts and advice on your specific situation.
