before anyone else says it, CPU = central processing unit
i think you're meaning PC.

but yeah hook your pc s-video to your tv s-video and flip through tv/video til you get it. sound is another issue though, you'll probably need a stero to rca converter.

yeah i have my background on the tv now but no icons or anything else. Should i make the tv the primary monitor or the pc on the settings menu?

thanks for the help

the cpu thing really gets to me too

The worst thing is that a lot of tech support and customer service arms of computer companies call it the cpu too. That, and the fact that people say it on tv a lot, are where it comes from. Kind of makes it hard to get mad at people who say it not knowing what it means.

It's used so often like that, it's started appearing as secondary definitions of CPU (usually with a note that it's an incorrect useage though.)

i agree it's pointless and likely a waste of time to correct people since so many people call it a cpu, but saying cpu instead of computer or pc irritates the mess out of me too
