Re: [AV Media Matters] Technical Question

I agree with the Moderator.  You will need a way to convert the video signal
to an RF signal.

However, If you have composite video (RCA connectors) into your TV then all
you need to do is convert the BNC to RCA.

You can also buy this at radio shack for about $3.00. (Cat #278-254) They
call it Phono to BNC.

Hope this helps, David
