What you are looking for is a Coaxial (or F pin cable) to RCA (or Composite) converter. You are going to need an actual converter...not just a cable ...because you actually need to convert the signal.

The biggest question is where do you get one of these things? I found one on line that I think would work for what you need to do. http://www.cablewholesale.com/specs/40x3-30400.htm
Check it out but before you order it, email them and tell them exactly what you want to do...or make sure they have a good return policy in case it doesn't work the way you think. Another option is to go into your local Radio Shack...they may have something that will do the trick.

Good luck!!!

How connect a tv box on the radio to listen radio via TV

It will depend on the radio and TV you have. If you have a radio with outputs, right (red) and left (white) female plugs next to each other on the back, you can either run that to the back of the TV (if there are audio inputs on the TV) or plug the left and right wires into an adapter with video and audio inputs/outputs used for connecting DVD players to older TVs. The cable you need is called an RCA plug which comes in many different lengths and is two wires together with red and white plugs. You can then plug the adapter to the TV with a standard cable antenna that screws into the back of the TV.

RF Modulators and cable connections

RF MODULATOR HOOKUP
For a TV with only a RF input jack, a RF Modulator can be used to hookup DVD players, DVD recorders and other devices which output RCA composite video and audio. For example, analog cable TV can be connected using a RG-6 type coaxial cable to a VCR or older DVD recorder's analog cable ready tuner RF input. Then as shown above, the output can be connected to the TV thru the RF modulator. The modulator outputs on channel 3 or 4 for the older TV so the TV is set to channel 3 or 4. Some RF modulators are built-in to Audio/Video switch boxes. These allow multiple RCA inputs along with RF input.

RF MODULATOR CLOSE-UP
The modulator converts signals to channel 3 or 4 so older TVs can tune them on their analog tuners channel 3 or 4.

My screen is broken but I want to play xbox can i hook up a older TV to the broken screen your TV and play xbox through the broken TV but using the screen of the old TV to play

You'd be much better off just hooking up to the older TV directly instead of trying to run an input on the broken TV and then direct the output through another TV.

You can always find cheap video adapters to connect to the older TV if needed.

How to hook my play station 2

To what kind of monitor or TV set?
using the correct output cables from the console, plug it in to the 'In' port of the TV.
Compossite cables are yellow red and white. Should be simple enough?
unless you have a more complex situation, then you need to be more specific in your question.
If a set with multiple 'Inputs', then take notice of what port you plugged into, and then press 'Input' on your remote, and scroll to the proper port.

I want to know what type of cable wire do you need to hook up for HDTV and where you hook it up at on the TV

HD can come from two types of cables. A RF cable, normally it is a RG 6 or maybe a RG 59 coax cable. A HDMI cable is the other method of obtaining HD on your HDTV. A HDMI cable has a rectangular shape with small pins, its about 1/2 inch wide by 1/8 inch in height. The RF connector is about 1/4 in circular. A HD signal can come from a cable box or it can come from a DVD or Blue Ray player. Google these type of cables and look on your TV for the connectors.

How to hook up a game console to an Olevia 232-T12

It all depends on your game console.

You can connect most to the Component, Composite, or HDMI inputs.

For modern consoles, use HDMI cables or provided Composite cables.

HDMI = Single cable and single plug (Best)
Component = Red, Green, Blue, Red, and White plugs (Average)
Composite = Yellow, Red, and White plugs (Worst, used for most older consoles and older TVs)

Where can i get an external antenna adapter to fit my tv/dvd from

Well I thought I had one of the mini-jack to F type connector cables ordered but then it became Discontinued at PacParts.com. However, if Radio Shack still carries those F-connector to mini-mono earphone plugs then with another F-type Quick Connect you can make one with a length of RG-*.*/U cable with F-type screwon male connectors. Almost every one has some of those cable or satellite pieces laying around or stored and with proper adapters can fashion one for their portable TV's.
