DVI connection with my analog tv?

paul01

I figured before I Pyro API-557-EPS Pyro A/V Link with Adobe Elementsvideo card I better get my stuff straight on what cards can or can't output. I'm not big into gaming but I would like something with HD capabilites. All I have right now is an CRT tube tv that I play captured tv shows on (I capture using an old Pentium 3). So, considering I will be upgrading to a P4 and a HD TV soon, I’m looking for any help I can get. I’ve done a little research and it has lead me to these questions:

When cards say they have s-video and a DVI output, does the s-video serve as a HD output as well?

Assuming the format of the DVI is DVI-I coming out of the card, would I get better quality choosing to buy a DVI-I to RCA cable for the video to my analog tv or is just buying a s-video to RCA cable going to give the same quality of output?

Am I going to need to buy a converter if I make a DVI connection with my analog tv?

I would say that DVI-I to RCA would give better picture quality over S-Video to RCA. Just make sure that wherever you purchase it from will take it back as a return. Compatibility issues run high with DVI-RCA cables.

I would just hurry up and join the 21st century and get your HD TV/monitor.
