Playing Net Flix off my laptop on the boob tube.

My flat screen has an unused S Video input jack, but my laptop doesn't have S video at all. It does have a 1394, VGA, HDMI, Ethernet and USB.

What's gives the quality from the laptop to convert to S video input from?

[Don Plumley]

I'd just punt around this and buy a new $80 DVD player that streams netflix (and pandora, et al) directly to your TV.

Or get a Roku ($60) or Apple TV ($100).

S video is analog.

You'd be down converting so quality of the original output is not an issue.

There are many better options that are cheaper as mentioned above.

Thanks, sounds like ROKU is the ticket.
