can i make my TV as a second(huge) monitor by connecting it to my PC using a TV tuner card?

Both my TV and the TV tuner card have a 4 pin S-VIDEO port.I will use an s-video cable and RC cable for audio.I understand that it is possible to capture TV shows on PC with the s-video of tv tuner card.So what I am asking is, whether it is possible to watch PC on TV with the same?

Answer:

No, a TV tuner card only has inputs, no outputs. You need a graphics card in your computer which allows you to connect your television to. S-Video, HDMI, VGA, DVI, any of these can do. There are many graphics cards which have multiple outs, so if your current graphics card only has one output, you will need to purchase a new one.

    always TV tuner card is an input device to pc.. u cant take any video or audio signal out from PC via tuner card.. u can use video out port and stereo port for taking out video and audio.. maybe ur video out port can be HDMI or rs232 (DVO)port.. use that..
