    Hi,

    How do you connect your notebook "downloaded movie" and watch it on analog TV screen. I mean what connector should I use to connect it directly from my notebook usb port to analog TV video input. What's the name and where can I buy it?

    You cannot do this with your usb port. You should use your hdmi, dvi, vga or s-video port from your laptop and because you say analog tv i guess you should connect it to a scart, rgb or s-video port on your tv.
    You can buy connectors like a dvi to rgb, so you can connect it

    If you don't have an analog port you could always purchase a docking station many of them have s-video which is your best bet.

    If you have VGA port on to your TV than you can connect with it but for hearing sound you'll need another cable for sound, but if you use HDMI cable than only one cable will do for you. HDMi is better than S-Video and VGA..

    Connect your laptop to your HDTV with this VGA cable that features high-quality copper material for a consistent signal between the 2 devices and supports up to 1600 x 1200 UXGA resolution for impressive visuals.
