S-Video out and DVI to HDTV compatibility

[ngc4414]

Hello all:

I have a G4 MX440 and it has S-video and DVI out. I tried connecting it to my TV with the s-video out and it looked totally unusable, it that normal?

Also, I have a HDTV and the HD connector on the back sort of looks like the DVI-out on the video card, are the compatible? Can I get a cable and get video through the DVI and HD connectors?

Thanks in advance

the dvi standards are not the same, you can't use it.

as for the s-video, i would check to make sure the video card is setup properly for that output.
