that's sad...three answers and not one person told you what you really needed to know.
your TV lacks any kind of S-Video or composite video/audio jacks, it's common for cheap TV's, and is a problem till you want to use a DVD player or game console.
what you need is a device that's simply known as an RF Modulator. it's a box that takes the audio/video outputs from your dvd/player, game console, computer, whatever...and then creates a TV transmission on channel 3 much like a VCR. they sell these at most electronics stores. wal-mart i know has them in the electronics section in the aisle with the other cables. asking at a store might yield you some confusing looks, espically since many employees at retailers don't know anything about the products on the shelf, but, the devices are out there for that purpose.
an old VCR will also serve the same function, however, there are a few things to watch out for:
if you're running a DVD player, then it's quite possible, due to Macrovision analog copy protection, that even tho you're not recording anything that you'll still get a distorted picture. gaming consoles shouldn't have that problem, but there's also the issue of can you even get the VCR into AV mode without a remote (let's assume you've lost the remote). i mean it's diffently worth a try first...but..your milage may vary.

They use a 2 pin plug or a 3 pin plug. If you go to the link below, there are photos of the 2 and 3 pin plug and a photo of the adaptor, you can easily buy them on arrival in Indonesia. The adaptor will allow you to plug in the Australian style plug into an Indonesian socket. The link is about Batam Island but the plugs are the same everywhere in Indonesia.

We share the same problem before but we solved it when we buy Audio and Video RF Modulator.
You can buy it in any electronic store and it cost 15 Riyal here in Saudi. You will connect the RCA cord/plug (3 color coded , yellow for video, red & white for audio) from your source unit say a VCD player, to this RF Modulator respectively, and then from the Modulator you will connect the supplied cable/wire to the antenna of your old TV.
Enjoy watching movies in your TV.

Yes you can shop online for adaptors to make you old tv function like new. An old vcr can helpout alot also, giving you the connection need if you have one around the house, I would suggest using that first. Next if you still have problems take the issue to your local radio shack.

Yes there is an s-video adapter, but they are a little expensive. I got one for my computer and i can run rca jacks off of it.
