On the other hand, a DVD/VCR always has an output of 1v peak-to-peak, thus you make a amp with a gain of +5, more or less.

Ok but I’m looking for the cable input I don’t need vcr or dvd I just want to be able to watch regular tv and I would use the cable box remote change the channel. So in the end I could always try it there’s nothing I have to do to the set to try except try one of those wires or just take it from the 3rd IF and see what happens.
