If your PC has a TV out connection (S-video or composite) all you need are the cables as above. If, however, your PC only has a standard external monitor connector you will need a converter.

A converter will take the standard SVGA/XGA output and convert it into a PAL otput suitable for a TV.

The following is a link toa site explaining the technical aspects:

The following link is to the Lektrpacks page of typical converters. You may, however, be able to find cheaper ones if you do a search:
