S-Video to RF by prashker on 04-12-2005 at 01:09 AM
Hi,
I recently baught a Geforce FX 5500. It rocks because of the second monitor thing at the back. Thing is i have a TV beside my PC but its old and only has RF IN. yet the TV out on the video card is S-Video and the cord that came with the video card was both ways S-Video. My question is where can i get a S-Video to RF converter for cheap. I know i can get a S-Video to RF modulator but its 30$ and i dont want to spen 30$. So does anyone know where I can buy one for cheap(preferably less than 10$).
Thanks,
SonicSam

I'm pretty sure you will not find a RF converter for lower than $30 (I never saw any). Anyway, if I were you, I'd buy another tv.. if you don't even have an RCA input on your tv, I'm sure it'S currently begging you to be putto death

There is no straight-through conversion from s-video to rf. In the converter the s-video signal is decoded to a (virtual) image, that image is encoded to pal/ntsc format, and the resulting image is given to a mini-tv station for "transmitting".
All that means you are unlikely to find a converter for under $10 at normal price.
Remember that on an older TV (older is a few years), the quality won't be that great, especially after the conversion. The resolution is low also. It should be okay for keeping all those always-on-top display windows on though.
