[QUOTE="Banyon, post: 150731, member: 49407"] Hi guys. I recently put together a HTPC from some suggestions made here. A DOA mobo and some ram incompatabilities later, I finaly got it working along with getting it connected to the net, and a way to control it with VNC till I buy a remote. Now I have a new problem... I can't hook it up to my TV. The board claims to be built specificly for HTPC purposes toating a Hi Def sound port on the front and HDMI ability.... but yet, there is no way to hook it up to a normal ol tv... lol Here is the board. [url]http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131172[/url] Now I bought a VGA to S-Video/Composite cable, but I can't get it to work, and according to the article I read when googleing why, it appears the board has to have a "TV OUT through VGA" feature to make it work... guess mine don't Now I was builting this machine on the cheap, so I don't want to spend a whole lot more on getting it hooked to the TV. Whats the cheapest solution I can get that will work? I don't need Hi Def support, I have just a normal old TV, (Not even a flat screen). Is there any way to solve my remote and TV needs at once? Like a PCI-E All-in-wonder card like they used to sell for AGP slots... vid card with remote, tv capture and other stuff all in one. [/QUOTE]
