    Hey, I have a way old computer who's only video out is a 15-pin d-sub and an old TV who's only inputs are a red, white, and yellow RCA adapter and a coaxial cable slot. Can anyone tell me what is the easiest (or, better yet, cheapest) way to display the computer on the television? Do I need some sort of modulator?

    Most standard graphic cards have a S-Video out, if your card has this, you can easily get a S-Video to RCA converter for about $5 CDN. I picked mine up at "The Source" (Formerally Radio Shack).
    However keep in mind, TV's are low resolution under S-Video and RCA connections. So do not expect to do any text work as it's difficult to read most of the time.

    As I said, this computer lacks all video outs other than the 15 pin d-sub, INCLUDING s-video out. The connection we're dealing with here relies strictly on VGA out.
