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. |

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.
