424980 2006-01-28 17:45:00 I am truing to attach my computer to my TV.
I have a Radeon X800XL video card. The video out on this card has nine pins. Just the normal circular plug hole , but with nine pins.
My TV has the normal SVideo plug with four pins.

My problem is where do I find a plug with nine pin holes to fit into my video card.?

DSE does not have one. Neither does anyone else that I know of.

424981 2006-01-28 20:21:00 Well apart from going to a specialist Audio/Video store then only other thing I can think of is going to a PC reseller and see if they can source the cable for you. Did your card come with any sort of cabling at all?

What's the brand of the card?

cheers

It's not actually. At least it's not a brand of video card.

My card is a gigabyte GV-R80L256V.
Not sure if it did or not. All I remember is the secondry power cable. Of course box and any other contents are long gone.

424985 2006-01-28 22:16:00 I think I have the same 9 pin plug here. (9 pin din - RCA ), BUT this one came with my vidcard.

The only thing i hate about ATI, is the video out.

You have to go into the catalyst control centre, and tick force tv detection all the time, its annoying! At least with the Nvidia drivers, you dont have to do this all the time.

424986 2006-01-29 07:36:00 I think I have found a picture of what I need. It's and adapter that plugs into my HDTV socket and converts to three single pins.
Rresumably I need a cable with the three pins at each end. I was looking for a cable that plugged into svideo plug on Tv.

Does this sound like I am now heading in right direction??

Next question. Where do I get such an adapter? Who is the gigabyte distributor in NZ ?
