i dont think you can do that with a tv and your laptop...but i know you can hook a tv up to a cpu. laptops (to my knowledge) cant have this done because they dont have the monitor jack and i dont think that a usb/firewire can support a tv connection...

most current laptops being produced do in fact have a monitor jack for dual screening for desktops. At least my brother does, and he has the latest dell.
