Hey guys, I'm in a little bit of a dilemna here. I really hope someone can help me out! 
Anyway, I'm having a little trouble figuring out exactly how or what I should use to get my set up going with what I have. Here's a run-down of the components:
TV (AKA Monitor): This is just a RCA Television with one single Coax F type input. No composite RCA aud/video inputs.
Receiver: Sort of an older (but not much, I'd put it at about 5 years old-ish) receiver. This one has got inputs for 2 different video streams, as well as about 4 sets of audio inputs. It has one main video out. It then has a set of separate outputs for video and audio for the main video source (in this case, it's VCR 1). So basically (since we won't be running the DVD to two different sources) there is only one video out, and 2 video inputs. These are all RCA-style composite connections.
DVD: Panasonic DVD player that has two sets of RCA-based video outputs for both video and audio (Vid 1, Vid 2 outs, Audio L/R 1 and Audio L/R 2 outs). Also I think there is an optical audio out and a digital RCA-type audio out, but none of my other components include this.
Well, here's the dilemna: How can I get video from the cable service, plus video from the DVD to the television? Well, basically the cable service is easy-cheese, but I don't know if it can work to get the DVD video with a television with only a coax F input?
Right now, I have the cable service coming in the video in on the receiver for one of the 2 video in's. The DVD player is plugged into the other RCA in on the receiver. Then I have the one video out from the receiver going to the TV with an RCA to F adapter.
Well, I can't get video, but I'm still getting television.
Anyone know how I can get a contemporary DVD player to work with a television that only has an F screw type connector on the back? This isn't an old TV, but it appears to be a commercial-line type of TV, and that's why it only has this one connector.
