I need a gadget for watching downloaded media on my TV
So far I've found this device from Sandisk...

http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&tag=mozilla-20&index=blended&link_code=qs&field-keywords=SanDisk%20Sansa%C2%AE%20TakeTV&sourceid=Mozilla-search

I want to be able to download movies and TV shows, but not be limited to watching them on my PC. I use Linux, so I don't want anything that requires Windows.

I know there are other devices that do this, but it's hard to find them. There does not seem to be any one search phrase that captures this kind of device on Google.

Suggestions?

1. Does your video card have S-Video out or anything?
If not, maybe find a cheap video card that has it?

3. I don't want to move my computer to my TV room
or vise versa.
