Hi,
I connect a S-Video cable to the TV but i don't see anything on the TV (of
course after selecting the correct channel on the TV).

Has anything to be done on Vista (installing SW ....)?

Regards

connecting displays which might help work thigns out?

Channel?
S-Video is a INPUT on my TV's (plural), The TV can be on any Channel
when I switch to S-video input and remains on that channel when I
switch back to the tuner input.

I had to Boot Vista with the s-video cable in place and the TV powered
on to just "enable" the S-video out on my FX5200. All that done, I
still had to set the Video (card) properties to tell Vista to "Output"
something to that output.
Your Graphics package may include a special tray, "control panel", to
make these settings easily.

Lastly, your TV may be fighting you if you have multiple input types
and locations. My TV uses "shared" input connections. I can use the
Front or the Back for ONE Input menu choice, I can use S-Video or
Component input for the other menu choice. If I leave a CABLE plugged
in, one input takes priority over the other in the same group. (The
combination I ended up most wanting to use :/ , and not obvious in the
store)
 
Thanks Billy and Steve
