VGA to tv problem

    I got a vga cable so I could use my tv screen to show off photos etc. The cable is in both the tv and the laptop but I cant seem to find the correct channel on the tv which is displaying it.

    I have looked online, and it bascially says plug in and go. But this dosent seem to be happening for me - do I need to tune it in? Or am I doing something wrong...

    Appologies if its a dumb question...I just dont wanna be messing about until I get some sort of advice. Thanks

    Do you mean channel in the traditional 0-99 or whatever? Or have you tried the different extensions? On some TVs you have to go to AV, and you should see EXT-1, EXT-2, et cetera.. There should be a VGA option. For me, I have a HDMI option.

    Instead of AV, your remote might have "Source" like my one does.
