[QUOTE=FieroMan;771302]Thanks for that, but what I am after is getting the video to go to the TV. As it is now, I get whatever is on my computer screen to play on the TV, but I want just the video content.

Is that possible?

It's a Windows Media PC.[/QUOTE get a video card that has tv-out on it. Your media PC, like mine, only has a tv tuner card that comes with it. A tuner card brings in the tv signal so you can watch tv on your PC. A video card with tv-out will send the videos back to your tv. If your media center PC already has tv-out installed on it, which I doubt it does, then you'd be able to go to your catalyst control center and make your tv as a second monitor to watch. But with no tv-out on your media PC, you cannot do that. My gaming PC currently has a card with video-out, which is currently hooked up to my 60-inch tv through an s-video cable, which allows me to surf the internet or play any pc game on my big-screen.
