If your video card has DVI, use a DVI>HDMI cable/converter.

Your TV has lots of digital connections, you REALLY don't want to lower the quality by using Svideo or composite (CVBS).

Depending on your card it might have come with a dongle that gives you component output, the yPbPr.

basically in order of quality from best to worst it's this:

HDMI (the only way to get a digital signal into your tv)
Component
Scart
Svideo
Composite

and this should be where the tv card is? or above where my monitor is plugged into pc?

Where the monitor connects to the PC. Tv cards tend to be input only - for watching TV on your PC.*Very* few TV cards have an output to feed a TV.

6007 or 6039, yeah.

Horrendously expensive though. WOC and Priceless don't seem to have them, but if you can wait a couple of days for delivery you'll get it much cheaper online.
