[Watch movies from computer on coax input only TV]

I have an old TV with only a coaxial cable port. I want to watch movies on my TV from my computer . My old Tv has no S-video output,no RCA output.What do I need.? Thanks.

I think it would be quite difficult.

Do you have two graphics outputs from your computer? What sort, VGA or DVI or both?

I haven't heard of adapters to coaxial, even RCA video would probably give poor quality.

The television might have low resolution, so if you set it too high you just get a blank screen.

Even S-video connection is difficult if you want to run low resolution on a television and a higher resolution on the computer monitor.

It would take quite a lot of research and might be expensive or might not even work when you set it up.

You told us what inputs your TV has but sadly, told us nothing of the outputs on your computer. If your computer does not have a F-type coaxial "TV Out" connection, you will need to buy a new graphics card that does, or an RF modulator adapter that supports whatever outputs your computer provides. Alternatively, if your graphics card supports S-Video or some other video out connection, you may be able to use an old VCR to take the signals (video and audio) from the computer and send them to the TV.

 

Thanks.
