Just enter 'pc to tv' in quotes in Google UK and you'll find several. Heres an example

Yes it is.

Firstly, check the back of your machine. Is your monitor socket on a separate card? If so, are there any other sockets on it? (Or post the model of your video card here - go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>Display Adapters to see what it is - if one is fitted). One of the other sockets (if any) is likely to be a composite video out. You can use this to carry the picture and your speaker socket to carry the sound to your TV. You will likely need a suitable length of 3 phono wire, a SCART converter to plug one end into and then plug into your TV and an adapter to allow you to plug the 2 phono plugs carrying the audio into your speaker socket. If you have sVideo out you will just need a kit like this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-PC-DVD-Cable-S- Video-Adapter/dp/B0002IA1X6 - which will have pretty much all the leads and connections you are likely to need, though most "Right Price" type stores do them at a much lower price, and/or sell the parts separately.

If your video card does not do video out, then there are devices such as these - http://www.averm.co.uk/avermedia/aver/products _computertv.asp?show=6 - that you can use. (There are many other brands, I just happen to have used the PRO100).

The Averkey thingie will do you then. A quick search found one for �30 ( http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?c ode=GTA-AVERKEY10&af=50 ) though I dare say you could get one off eBay. You'll also need a SCART adaptor and suitable audio leads/connections.

Mind you, you could probably pick up a video card with TV out for that price if you're up to fitting it!
