If you have a monitor plugged in as well unplug it. That'll force the signal to your TV. If that works then after the tv turns on just plug your monitor back in. Btw, wrong section dood Razz

Only thing that worked for me was to plug in a cool scart-to-everything(everything: composite video, left and right sound + S-Video, Input/Output switch) adapter into my TV, and then plug S-Video cable from gfx card to the adapter. I still don't get sound on my TV, but don't care about that.

try changing the resolution of your computer monitor to 1024*768 or 800*600 . that should solve the crappy quality

the yellow cable is for the image so you need that plugged in to your tv (red and blue is for sound)

dont know about nvidia but i have a pc monitor/tv setup with my ati and there you just need to set your tv as the clone one by hand (may not work so if it doesnt swap display mapping). again thats for ati, dunno bout nvidia
