i'd like to output whatever video played on my PB to a TV - problem is, this particular TV has only an antena input (i used it to plug in my VHR player). So how would you guys do it? I know i have to do sound separately but that's acceptable.

Thx!

use an rf modulator the same thing they use to convert video game systems and dvd players for tv's... you can put the sound input through it also.

So this modulator thing has a connector that I can plug my PB in just like what I do when giving a powerpoint presentation?

Yup, plug PB into modulator, modulator into TV.
I'm pretty sure they would have RF modulators for s-video. You might need to buy an s-video to RCA cable as well as the modulator if there aren't RF modulator's with an s-video input.

Actually, your PB might already have an S-Video-to-RCA converter included; I know my 17" PB came with one. You'd simply plug that adapter into your PB's S-Video output, then the RF Modulator into the other end of that cable, and the RF Mod. into your TV.
