      Have a look on www.keene.co.uk (under video conversion) or your local equivalent.  Plenty of conversion equipment there that will do the job.

        Buy a PCMCIA/PC Card S-Video adapter.  Google can find one for you.

        I'll never get over the fact that people want to watch TV on their PC....

        Um...  I thought this was the other way round - the OP wants to use a large TV screen as an external monitor for the laptop.  Did I miss the point?

        Off topic: the OP's signature requires comment:

        nobody is perfect.........but i am not nobody....therefore i am perfect

        This is logically incorrect.  Choose from:

        1. nobody is perfect.........but I am nobody....therefore I am perfect

        or

        2. nobody is perfect.........but I am not nobody....therefore I may or may not be perfect
