OK,first, there are several vidio cards which export a composite signal
which would allow you to view...your computer on tv. Some AGP, but also
some PCI.

The setup would depend on the board...if it allowed you to import as
well as export, you could view the tv onscreen (computer.) Then, you
could also display the entire contents as a tv screen... In that case,
a wireless keyboard and mouse gives you extended range, as well.

If it only goes one way(output), the typical video switch would work to
set your tv back to normal viewing.
