I'm trying to connect a PC with a NVidia Personal Cinema (GF2 MX) to my TV, so it can act like a Tivo.

I am a DirectTV subscriber as well.

I'm a bit confused on how to do this. It seems as though I've tried everything, yet can't seen to get a picture.

What I've tried:
Coax cable from DirectTV into DiectTV box. S-Video from cable box to the NVidia break out box. Then S-Video from break out box to the TV. The break out box is also connected to the PC via the cable supplied. (Kinda looks similar to S-Video, but it's not.)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

This is my video card:

I can't seem to get a picture on the screen.

Thanks for the links, but I could really use a schematic on how to connect everything I've got. :eek:

coax in > directtv box
directtv box (s-video) to break-out box (s-video in)
break-out box (s-video out) to tv
(All while breakout box is connected to the GF2 MX card.

Nada, Zip, Zilch...
 
Okay so it's like this?:
Sat feed>Direct TV box>Into Breakout box (svideo)>Out BOB (svideo)>TV
