If you mean can you have your PC desktop output via the MPEG card, the answer is no. The MPEG card only generates video from the MPEG encoded input, generally from a DVD video disk.
If you want to display the PC screen on a TV, there are two solutions:
1) Get a VGA to NTSC/PAL converter. There are several grades of these devices and the results you get are directly related to how much they cost. The low cost one ~US$100 are relatively poor quality output but are useful for PowerPoint presentations etc. where the text is large. The better ones, ~US$300 or more are much more sophisticated and actually capture the VGA frames in a buffer and resample them at the 30 fps rate needed for a standard TV signal.
2) Get a PC video card that supports a NTSC/PAL output. There are several of these on the market.
