No, you cannot has a TV with S-video-in.

I had the same problem a while back and solved it with a $30 2-way switch from
Worst Buy. The switch had 2 S-video and component inputs, 1 S-video and
component output. S-video out from video card->"A" S-video in on switch.
S-video out from DVD player->"B" S-video in on switch. Component out on
switch->component in on VCR. VCR 75-ohm connector out->TV input. (My old TV
was built in 1991 and had no component-in.) Flip switch to A for doing
computer things on the TV, flip it to B for watching DVDs. HTH,
