I know about VCR's already

I have 2 RF Systems the Atari 7800 & the TurboGrafx-16

I have a small room for now, I just wanna know it there a Converter to convert the RF Signals to RCA

By RCA do you mean the Yellow (composite video), White (audio left), and Red (audio right) and not Component video or RF over RCA cabling correct?

A VCR is the smallest and cheapest ($3-8 at the thrift stores here) device I can think of that will do that (I use one that way).

There are few TVs I can think of that can accept composite video, but not analog RF....What are you trying to connect the RCA jacks to?

The later VCRs were pretty small. I've never seen a room too small to fit a VCR SOMEWHERE.

The small modulators, where it converts line inputs to RF out are around, very cheap, buck or two. Some even have a S-VHS input.
A funny thing is, there is very few VCR's in the thrifts lately, at least around here. Maybe, they're finally drying up.

I think he wants to DEmodulate RF since I believe his source video game consoles predate direct AV out.

Been a while since I went thrifting...Supply has been down, but I've seen it lower occasionally.

Here's the story

My nephew let me use his SD Monitor

I have all my Consoles hooked up on my AV switch box,

I'm going to buy a VGA to Composite Box Convertor on ebay

In turn I could play my Consoles on my SD Monitor while I'm my PC

I might end up looking for a small DVD Player with RF out

Mario .I'm sorry.I'm little confused.

So you looking for a TV tuner only type gadget that will take the game RF probably Ch 3 or 4 and have the TV tuner with composite output to your a/v selector and to your RF modulator to your old TV sets.

A VCR as mentioned can do that with the RCA outputs.

VGA to Composite Box Converter will work good doing the computer to TV conversion.

Hum.A DVD player with RF outs.I dont see many of those around.

I done some recordings of Atari and other old games on VHS years ago.I have not try to capture to DVD or using my WinTV computer video capture device yet on my old computer .Also that has a TV tuner in it.

Some computer video cards have TV video outputs on them.That would eliminate the VGA to video converter device.

I think what you are looking for is just a "barrel" to change
RCA to F fitting.
Folks, remember the first games ran to an antenna/game switch
that had an RCA cable for RF.

This way multiple games/sources can run through an RF
switcher without a bunch of game switches.
