Pardon my spelling on the coaxl word but i was wondering if i can get something that will connect to the yellow RCA(yellow, red, white cabels) and convert that signal into a coaxl cabel so i can plug it into my tv. Any suggestions?
Thanks

You would need a RF modulator.

No problem:)

BTW, the modulator you were looking above at "the shack" is the wrong type.

A RF Modulator costs from $20-$30

Here is an example:

Damn i should have told u guys before, im doin this cuz i wanna huck up my dvd decoder card to my tv so i went to radio shack and ask for the 1.90 converter and he said that its not gonna work cuz of the signal and he said that i do need a rf modulator. Any suggesrions on a rf modulator? or should i just get the little converter (in which case he was lying).

If you are using the cable straight from the DVD to the TV I don't think there should be a problem.

You may as well try the $1.90 one first. You could always take it back and exchange for the RF modulator if it doesn't work.

The only problem I see is Macrovision from the DVD's, but if it is a straight shot and not through a VCR first it should work with the cheap connector since all it is doing is changing the connector type.

If macrovision is a problem an RF modulator will help you bypass it.
