[AV Media Matters] Technical Question

[miriam+@pitt.edu]

We recently managed to acquire a 3/4" deck.  We don't have a professional monitor to hook it up to, but we do have a tv with audio and video inputs.  Is there any way I can get this setup to work?  I have already connected the video and made an attempt, though it may sound silly to some, to take the BNC video out and connect it to the UHF on the tv as well.  I just wanted to try anything and everything with the hope I could get it to work together.  I don't think I would be able to purchase a monitor unless it were really cheap.  I would really like to make this setup work if possible.

Any advice is welcome.

The cheap way to do this is to buy a RF converter which should be available
from a radio shack store - it will take your video and put it on channel 3
or 4, and make it look like - well - UGH comes to mind -but it will work and
it is cheap.
