Not quite digital TV

Okay, I'm probably the only one left that doesn't have a nice large LCD/Plasma digital TV. Even my parents have one. Money's is a little tight this year, so I bought a pc to tv converter from a TigerDirect store.
This is a KWorld PC to TV convertor which connects from a pc/laptop video port to the video port of an analog tv. Although the maximum resoultion was 1024 x 768, it worked fine and the AVI movie I downloaded from the internet looked good on our old 27" CRT TV. It cost about $56 Canadian. I did have to buy an adapter that went from the headphone jack of the laptop to the audio cables (not included) that went to the TV. Until we get a nice digital TV and a home theatre PC, this is a good temporary fix for playing downloaded videos.
