Hello
I have read that you can connect from the VGA to the s video connection on the TV. Is this correct? Will this give sound as well? (I wish to be able to view IPlayer, U Tube ect on the TV). Thank you for your help.

Hi daveeeuk and welcome.

I'm afraid it's not so simple. Your VGA output is a RGB signal and will not connect directly to your TV.

You need a VGA to TV converter box to convert the signal to composite video or s-video and they are not cheap - have a look at this one here: -

VGA to TV Converter

Google will find you some more.

None of these habdle sound and you will need a cable from your headphone socket to the line-in on your TV.
