Default Computer display to TV, help plz comp gurus

Hey guys, I got an S-video plug for my Geforce fx 5700 256mb with tv out and it is working fine. But I was wondering if it was possible to extend the TV onto the monitor so I don't have to switch from one to the other? MY buddy has an ATI and he can do just that while I have to switch from one mode to the other, would be cool if i could do work while we have movies in the background.

You have to have a TV tuner in your computer for you to get TV signals.

ATI has a model called ATI Wonder and they have built in TV tuner.

Laptops usually come with dual monitor capability. If you don't have it then your video card doesn't support it. Not much you can do but get a video card that supports multi monitors.
