VIVO

I've completely lost all cables which came with my X1900XT and there's no hope of getting them back.

Now I need to hook up my TV to my computer but I can't find anywhere that sells an adapter or the leads that I need.

I'm not asking for a link to a competitor, but can anyone tell me if it is possible to get an adapter like the one that I need? If so, am I better off looking on the internet (which i've had no luck with whatsoever) or the highstreet?

Any advice welcome, thanks

It is possible. What isn't, is hinting where.

Or of course put a bit extra to the cost, treat yourself to a new card and sell the original on.

Hmm, I'm not really in a position to be splashing out on a new card at the mo. I think I may have found what i'm looking for but I don't wanna waste more money on adapters that won't work so really I wanna make sure.

I thought the x1900xt just had a standard s-video out socket so you just need a s-video to s-video,scart or composite leads depending what connectors your tv has.

DVI > HDMI

Afraid not. I thought it did so bought a S-Video to Phono adapter but the socket in the back of the graphics card is 9 pin and as far as I know, VIVO is the only socket with 9 pins.

The only VIVO cable i've managed to find just converts it to S-Video so the signal would go VIVO>S-Video>Phono. Would I lose any quality this way?
