my tv has no inputs

[jorken]

All I wanted to do was get a DVD player and watch some movies... but it turns out my TV has nothing but a coax input. The TV came with my apt, so I didn't expect it to be anything special.

In any case, is there something/anything I can get or do with this thing to watch some dvd's on it?

can't you get an analog to coax type of converter thingy?

What about the adapters that the older game consoles used to use?

edit:Thanks rudeguy5757, I forgot what they were called 😱

I didn't even notice the typo 😱

jorken, this should work: Video RF Modulator 🙂

Could also look for a cheap VCR that has composite inputs and coax output.

i bought an RF modulator for my parents because their tv is ancient and it works great. its really clear too. excellent way to go if you can't afford a new tv

i think that's when macrovision kicks in. i tried that with my parents tv and you get the light/dark/wavy dvd output

Then you need to use an older VCR.

Well if the modulator gets a perfect digital signal, it can generate a perfect analog curve, no?
