Anyone know what this cable would be called, or if it even exists?

Pretty sure its SV cable.

Not all TV's have that input though, but most new ones do I'd think. Then your graphics card and stuff needs to have that option or something. But its really not all that complicated like I'm making it sound.

What type of Graphics card do you have?

I can help you out cause im getting Satallite TV put into mine

And its SV cable, but it help to have better ports. Getting a 980P cable port would run you at about 50 bucks (Guestamating ) and Nivida has a couple of Rendering cards to allow you to watch TV on your PC.

Dazzle. Look it up. Allows you to connect composite cables to your computer and vice versa.

Now, higher quality: Firewire...if going composite to DV quality.

Higher quality still: S-Video. But, TV's gotta have it too. Or, you can get a SV-to-Composite converter, but it'll downgrade the quality.

But then, my computer has a built-in S-Video port and a built-in Firewire/DV port.

How about just something that connects into the monitor plug? Or S video... my computer has one, but I'm not sure about my VCR.

Oh, btw, Mac and laptop.

It really depends on your video card. If you don't have a TV output, you can't output to TV without a converter. I used to have one, but it sucked balls. If you really want to output from PC to TV, use the built in ports. You will never be able to get HD quality onto a TV from a PC unless you can get a DVI connector to your TV. Some nice TVs come with ports to plug into a PC, but those can be expensive. Also, why do you need to output to your TV? Why not just use a nice monitor?

I know for a fact that these exist. In my Algebra 2 lass there is a "Computer to Video Component." I believe this is what you are talking about. I think it is made by Logitech. Try searching online for one. Radio shack maby.
