hooking up an old TV to DVD player

I have an old(er) TV that only has a single coax input to it. I want to connect my dvd player that has no coax out - any solution -

You guys haven't failed me yet so give me a cheap and dirty solution to this problem.

If you already have a VCR you could route it through that.

Route DVD player cables to input in VCR and output through coax port.

I am sure there is a converter and Future Shop/Walmart/Best Buy if you ask.

You should be able to pick up a converter retail for about $10. You could try a VCR, but signals are often or always messed up to prevent DVD to VHS piracy.

What you're looking for is called an RF Modulator, and runs for about $20 at Walmart or CanTire.

It's called an RF Modulator. :rolleyes:

It's a Philips at Walmart, for $20.

Ok well I didn't know that exact name for it, but my point was to explain what it did and where you can get it. And so I was off $5, I don't spend all my time in the electronics section of Wall Mart. So I am not sure what your implying by rolling your eyes. Are you one of those nerds that hang out in Radio Shack, opps I mean the source, before you start rolling your eyes again.

No I'm not, just the guy my friends call when they need stuff hooked up, or assembled. The reason I rolled my eyes was that I had already posted what it was called, and you came along and called it "a coax(your cable) to RCA converter(your DVD player)". :eek:
