I just bought an S Video cable and plugged it into my TV and video
card. I attached the second monitor in the display properties, but my
TV is still displaying a TV picture. I have a Nvidia 6800 AGP card.
I have two settings for my TV Video imput and S Video input.
It is set to S Video, but the TV is still displaying the cable
stations.
Suggestions?
Did you go through some procedure to select "Dualview", "Clone",
or "Span" in the Nvidia display properties ? Dualview might be the
easiest thing to use, because it allows the two display devices to
use different resolution settings.
Depending on the Nvidia driver version used, you could be using the
classic control panel or the new control panel. On my machine,
when I had the older classic one, there was a step to go through,
where a mini-installer runs and the computer must be rebooted,
before the second monitor can be set up. That may not be needed
now. And the new control panel is quite different (no user manual,
for one thing). It would be pretty hard to explain what to do for the
new one, with no reference material to point to on the web.
(for example, page 88 here, shows the classis approach)

It could always be, that the TV end is at fault right now, but
I'd double check what you can see on the computer screen first.
