I note that it says I must be able to have composite output on my graphics card???

I can select my lapotop to output through the vga port for projector's; and I have used a projector on the laptop before with no issue - is this the same principle?

It'll work if your TV has component input, if it's a nice big screen plasma/lcd particularly high def ones it will. Otherwise that lead will not work, you'd need something more complex to feed video to a standard scart/composite/svideo input tv.
