media centre thingy, wires needed

[da_mic_1530]

i didnt really know what forum to put this in, i need a little advice

after the last thread in which i asked what was the ideal HD TV for me, we decided on the one GORDY R has, which i have promptly forgot the model and make, it was 26 inch and did picture in picture

anyway me current set up consists of

old 24 inch TV
xbox 360

and a PC across the room

my new set up will be

GordyR TV
xbox 360 and a mini shuttle PC to play music etc through me 5.1 sound system

the shuttle is coming 2mora, but until i get the HD TV what is the best way of displaying a PC image on a TV, i have a 6800 GT 128mb Asus v9999 GFX card the TV has 1 scart socket, the yellow white and red sockets and a funny little black connector which i think is the s video thingy

to clarify

1. whats gordyR's TV
2. how can i connect a normal tv 2 my shuttle
3. how can i connect the new tv to my shuttle

cheers

1) It was an LG somethingerother (go find the thread ).

3) You'll be able to hook up the 360 via component, for best results, and the shuttle via DVI/HDMI or VGA (whichever input offers 1:1 pixel mapping).

2) For now, your best bet is to use S-Video (which will limit you to 1024x768, and look pants for anything bar films).

If it's on his old TV then it will be 640x480, not 1024x768.

Trust me, you can

It won't be pin sharp, as it's way more signal than the TV can display, but SVHS will handle up to 1024x768. I had mine set up lake this many moons ago, before any of the 'theatre mode' gubbins you get these days.
