I have a very old (ancient) RCA tv that only has a coaxial (?) connector on the back. I bought a modulator so i could hook up my dtv converter box, dvd player, and ps2 to this tv, but when i tried to hook it to my tv, i saw the modulator only offers either a 3 plug rca jack output, or a s-video output. Can i use this to hook a s-video cable to my modulator, and plug it into the back of my tv? At the moment i am running the modulator through an old vcr, but i would really like to eliminate the vcr, since it is never used, and is only sucking up electric. Thank you. http://www.findacable.com/servlet/the-28/BI-dsh-DIRECTIONAL-RCA-MALE-fdsh--S-dsh -VIDEO/Detail |

Here is an RCA to F-Type(coax) adapter that might work for you. http://www.findacable.com/servlet/the-44/RCA-FEMALE-TO-F-dsh-TYPE/Detail You would still need to consider the audio output from your modulator. The coax input on your TV handles Audio and Video. RCA and S-Video require seperate connections for Audio and Video. If you using a different device for audio (receiver, surround, etc) this should work. If not, you can get a modulator that has a coax output http://www.findacable.com/servlet/the-5989/IMPACT-ACOUSTICS%3F-AGILE-AUDIO-fdsh-VIDEO/Detail |
