Use TV tuner card in yur laptop to view TV in your laptop.
Unless the TV you are having, have HDMI in or VGA/DVI in port, you can't connect your laptop to TV.

not possible unless there is similar video port on both tv & laptop.laptops don't have rca ports but some older laptops & tv's used to have S-video port.if both tv & laptop has S-video port then only it is possible else forget about it.

Hi there brother it is possible or you can say if lcd did not support vga cable than it is not possible other wise every laptop supports vga cable and external monitors.
