I discovered new drivers for the Radeon 8500 including a GUI called
'Catalyst Control Centre'. After downloading these, my TV is now recognised.
Enabling it allows me to show my PC desktop on my TV very well (as long as I
disconnect the TV signal from my aerial). However, whenever I play a video,
the TV screen goes blank! The setup options I'm given are 'Extend Main on to
TV', 'Clone Main with TV', 'Stretch Main Horizontally onto TV' & 'Stretch
Main Vertically onto TV'. I've tried out the first 2 of these, but neither
allow me to play a video. Does anyone know if there are any other settings I
should be adusting?...

After you connect it to the TV, you must reboot the cumputer and you
should see both the computer monitor and the TV have a signal.

I've had this Radeon 8500LE for about 4 years now & for the first time
tried to connect it to my TV, using a 4-pin S-video adaptor to the RCA
connection on the front of my TV. I seemed to have failed at the first
hurdle, as I can't enable the TV under Displays on the 8500 - the button
is just greyed out! Since the card's so old & I haven't used the s-video
socket before, could it be broken or faulty? I've re-installed the
drivers & done everything else I can think of, so I'd be really grateful
for any other suggestions!!!
