The data on your harddrive has to be read and interpreted by a program
designed to do so. If you can watch the movies on your computer then you
will need video out from the video card to the tv.
Some cards have TV out.

When I bought a video card last year, I couldn't find one without TV
out, which I didn't need.

There are many types and quality levels of cards to have external video and
audio in and out of computers for driving TV sets.

You will find that it is best to buy card that has component out, and use a
component type TV set. TV sets are not very good monitors for computers,
unless designed to do so.

The best would be to have a card and TV set that can work in DVI.
