TV out cable..
What do I need to be able to watch footbal through winamp on my big tv in the living room?
I have a Nvidia 7950GT GFX card, as far as I know it has TV out so should be covered in the GFX department.
Any advice appreciated!

What TV is it? If it has either a VGA/DVI/HDMI input then you can use it as a primary, or secondary monitor, and just run the pc on it as you are doing with a monitor now.

That looks like a HDMI next to those coloured connections (Composite/Component) so you have 2 options, you can use an S-Video-to-component adapter cable, with a component-to-component cable and run it from the S-Video on the card to the component on the TV (Red/Green/Blue connectors) OR buy a HDMI to DVI cable and use the secondary DVI on the 7950 and the HDMI on the TV.

No probs, you might even have a S-Video-to-component cable, as i got one free with my graphics card, it's not a 7950GT, but you might aswell check, and then all you'd need is a component cable if you wanna go that route.

Worth noting is that the S-video out connection won't have any audio. You'll need to patch that separately or just listen to the audio from the PC speakers.
Sound card line out (stereo mini plug) to audio in on the tv (presumeably 2x RCA plugs for stereo, 1x RCA for mono) or plug it into your stereo system (RCA as well)

Yep, fink is correct(Thanks fink), i forgot about audio, even the HDMI route you would need to send the sound seperately as the source is DVI.
