if by "tv frequencies" you just mean "pixel clock", then no.  svideo is a
compression of the 3 channel signal down to 2 channels, composite compresses
it down to 1 channel.  it's pretty easy to do in a circuit, but at that
point you might as well crack open your tv and wire a chopped vga cable
right in ;).

If your TV supports component (3 cables), it's probable that this would work
for you: http://www.amazon.com/6ft-component-video-cable-HD15/dp/B000FM3EQ0

I notice that people are selling VGA to composite cables on eBay for a<br>
few &nbsp;bucks.<br>
<br>
Examples...<br>

If you have a VGA card that does not have a TV out port but can be<br>
configured to output TV frequencies, would something like this really<br>
work?<br>
