If he's already connected the TV, then the chances are it does support TV out.

You first of all have to have the TV turned on when you power the PC up so the graphics card detects the TV is there.

Next, check to see if there's an icon in the control panel for your graphics card. ATI usually have one and both Nvidia and ATI software usually puts a little icon in the system tray.

If neither are there, right click on your desktop and go to Properties...Setings...Advanced.

Nvidia will give you a tab at the top where you can access the settings. But they will only be there if your TV was detected.

ATI cards have an option called Displays where you can choose what you want to output to the TV out connector.

you need clone mode, theres also a manual on how to use Nview on the site, read the whole thing, the above link gets to the part you want about half way down.

hmm! you could be more informative, I can`t see what you`re doing or your monitor from here do you have Nview enabled and the other display plugged in?,
have you tried the force tv option?, are you running the latest drivers?
