Hi,
Is there a way of getting tv-out from thinkpads, i.e. a usb tv-out card?
I have found many usb cards that provide tuner capabilities for watching TV on your laptop, but could not find a way of playing video from thinkpad to TV????
Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you want to play your videos on your TP, and have it displayed on your tv, you can use the S-Video out. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a S-video port on all T60's.
It works fine on my T43.

Hi!
I'm from Hungary and i'm very bad in English therefore i'm sorry. When your TV can to welcome RGB sign then you can buy or made a VGA->RGB(TV) converter.

Nope, as GomJabbar noted, that is one of the things that isn't on the T60. Read the T60 posts more carefully next time.
Also, as Attka pointed out, you can get a VGA/RGB converter; the quality of the video can vary.

Looks like only video capture to me. No TV Out IMO. Generally if it doesn't say it, then it's not available.

Yeah, I believe they took out the S-Video connector, in order to have an extra USB port. I would be really interested in knowing what can be done in order to achive TV-Out.
Does anyone have any links to a place where one can purchase the VGA to TV-Out as suggested?
Thank you
