DVI to analog coax
 

I have a MacBook Pro (which I loooooove), and I want to display it's output on my ancient-but-serviceable analog TV. I have DVI out, and a DVI to VGA adapter. I can bring in analog signal on either RCA or coax.

Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

Presumably you could use one of these to convert the vga to rca connections then use a RF adapter to convert to coax.

One caveat, I am not positive vga to rca adapters are generic.

Problem with that first link is: they're all VGA to S-Video or Component. I can't do S-Video or component, I'm doing old-school 1990s VIDEO signal--the yellow one of a red-black-yellow RCA cable. I haven't found a way to convert DVI or VGA to that.

I have an auto-switching, RF-adapting A-B switch (takes two lines of RCA video, and puts out coax that can go to the TV). I plan to run into that.

Some of them are just to a single yellow RCA and a S-Video.
Like this one. Even if you can't find one like that you could use the S-Video plug on the kind you're talking about with a RF Modulator that has S-Video in, don't know if yours or the radioshack one I linked to has s-video, but I have one in a box around here somewhere that I've used for a similar purpose to yours so I know they exist. Cheapest would probably be to look at ebay a little closer for an adapter like I just linked. Assume you've already given it some thought, but for audio the simplest route is probably to get a 1/8" stereo to Left/Right RCA's at radioshack.

DVI to composite video adapter, $20.

You're gonna get a lot better picture on the composite video than on coax.
