PC to TV conversion

All-
I am trying to setup my older PC to be able to use my TV as a monitor. I have Svideo, DVI, and VGA outs, but my TV is only RCA in. I already know the resolution will be small, but as this is mainly just going to be extra storage for my Tivo, and housing the software for my wife's MP3 player(no support for Vista :/), res is not a problem. Do I need a converter, or can I just use an S-Video > RCA adapter? I'm hoping for the adapter, since they're only ~$5, and the converters are $$$.

Thanks for any help!

Re: PC to TV conversion

Yes, SVideo to composite is all you need. There are differences in cables, though. A good place to get these is SVideo.com. I've ordered from them a couple of times, good stuff.
