Answer Hi Sameer,
USB Port is for downlaoding pictures to computer for storage/ to connect to Printers for direct printing , Yes you can use the AV Cable to connect the Camera to TV and watch the pictures/ video but for storing you can use USB for computer.
You can get Digital extender but maybe not here in India.
