Andy, I don't believe that an SVHS cable is the ariel cable slot you've found. SVHS has four or five pins and should eb the same type of = connector at both ends. Like I say, that's about the sum extent of my knowledge, so it's probably worth Googling for forums where people have tried this type of thing before.

My computer does have an aerial type socket on the back and also has the facility to watch TV, but I've never used these. So it would only be a matter of plugging an Ariel plug into the socket to get the signal out = to the Plasma. What type of plug is at the other end then? This would be really cool as I have a lot of music and AD movies on my computer and it would be great to be able to access these in my = livingroom. Best wishes.
