reverse rf connection

[gjherman]

I have a single male end RF jack coming from a older game system(Colecovision) that carries a video and audio signal… What I want to do is convert/split this male end to a separate video and separate audio connection that I can connect to one of the AV inputs on my TV. I currently convert my RF jack to a coaxial connection and connect it to my coaxial antenna input but I have to use a manual A/B switch which I prefer not to do. Is there something available that will let me do this?

You want to convert RF to composite video and analog audio.

That's like trying to "convert" FM radio signal to an audio signal in order to feed an audio amplifier.

You can't get an $.89 adaptor to do this. This is not a matter of simply changing the physical dimensions of the plugs and jacks. They are totally different types of signals. You would need a whole tuner.

It's the same for what you're trying to do, except you now need a TV tuner as well.

The cheapest solution I can think of is a cheap VCR (used, new, mono, stereo.. .doesn't matter) and feed the game's RF output to the VCR's tuner input, tune the VCR to whatever channel the game outputs to and feed the VCR's video and audio outputs to your video center.
