Not sure what you mean by S-VGA, but I don't think this will work. If you had a VGA on your TV, this would be ideal. Otherwise, laptops usually have S-Video outputs, which will connect to almost any TV. If yours doesn't, you could try a VGA (+sound) to SCART adapter, though I'm not quite sure the best place to get one of these, nor how expensive they are. Anyway, hope this helps a bit.

I think not. Unless your computer has a TV-out on it. TV video signals vs. PC monitor (VGA) signals are not compatible.

A TV needs an interlaced resolution which the laptop can not supply (easily) as it will only produce progressive resolutions.

Something like this might do the trick. Bit pricey though.

That definitely won't work is for connecting a scart output to a VGA input. The OP wants to connect a vga output to a input on his tv.

EDIT: It explains this in the FAQ on the link.

Oops, missed that bit.
