S Cable - Connecting laptop to tv monitor

[Simonc9]

Another way to view Video's on the TV or monitor is to use WiFi. It is a lot more expensive than a cable but allows you to use the PC for other things while the DVD is running and doesn't limit your distance by the length of the cable.
WPS - Wireless Presentation Solutions Ltd sell a Mobishow which plugs into the VGA input of the TV, projector or monitor and lets you view pretty much everything on the laptop on the TV. As a little bonus it acts as a WiFi access point too so if you have an Internet cable close by you can plug it in and WiFi enable your network too or just extend the range of your existing WiFi.

All I did so far was connecting the S cable from the laptop to the tv; played the DVD using my laptop but the picture kept coming up on my laptop screen (via realplayer, windows media etc.) instead of the tv. Is there any type of configuration that I would need to do? I thought it was just a simple cable connection?

My laptop model is HP Compaq nc6000
My tv is Sony big screen projection with an S cable outlet.

Please enlighten me!

Thanks in advance.
