The cables you see advertised only work if the video care really has svideo built in. Translate: the cable won't work.<div><br></div><div>There are converters on the market that are around $100 I don't remember exactly. I have one and it works but not with good video quality at all. I think some others on the list may know Monoprice used to sell one but I see they don't any more. Maybe it was no good.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I built a Zotac Ion box (Ionitx A-U board) as a myth frontend and<br>
absolutely love the thing. Currently I have it hooked up to an HDTV (via<br>
hdmi) down in the man cave. It works great. I'd like to move the box<br>
upstairs to the family room and connect it to a SDTV until I get the cash<br>
to upgrade to a nice new HDTV. I was thinking of using a vga to<br>
s-video/composite converter cable. Has anyone done this? I'll probably<br>
have to manually configure xorg for this. Do I need any other equipment?<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
