TV's are meant for fast moving images and motion, not small static fonts. Ever get close to a TV and look at it? Very blurry and big pixels.

Not much you can do but try and increase the font size, see how it works, or move back a little bit see if it helps.

normal tvs have high enough definition to read though, the S-video cable doesnt carry much quality, something like 600-460 pixels, probly half of what your computer has.
if you want to use your tv youll need to hook up dvi or vga to it somehow
