You need a video card (or TV Card) with video out. It is usualy an S-Video output so make sure your TV has S-Video input.

Yeah, and you could also buy a DVD decoder card if your video/CPU isn't strong enuf to handle good decoding. Its a nicer picture, but more expensive. The decoder card should have TV outputs.
