We have a really old tv. It is a symphonic and it only has one coax cable hook up in the back. We have tried about every way to hook up the dvd player to the box and have failed. We were told to get a RF modulator and then hook the tv up to that and then hook the cable box to the modulator and then connect the dvd video and audio cables to the modulator. For some reason, the tv still does not play video or sound on the tv.
One last note...our dvd player does not have a coax hook up. It only has an S-video out socket. A coax cable does not fit in it.
Keep in mind...I am a girl. I am not up to par with todays "electro lingo". Be specific. Don't tell me to call mediacom and ask them because they walked us through it and the only result we got was no cable on the tv set. Some technical support THEY have....blah. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you run the S Video cable to the RF modulator or the AV wires (should be 3 of them red white and yellow). Ok, so to make sure I have it right, you have the cable box cable from the out to the RF modulator in, then the cable from the modulator out to the cable in of the tv. The tv is on the right channel, but sometimes the modulator has a switch too sounds stupid but check that too. If that don't work then try to run something else into the modulator such as a game system or vcr just to make sure that its working properly. If it is you might have faulty wires from the dvd player. Just a side note the yellow wire is the video wire and that is what sends the signal to the modulator that turns it on (if its one that is switched on via signal like mine). I hope this helps, if not write me back and I'll try to help more.

Your hook-up seems ok, but you have to put your TV on the correct channel. Like if you were doing it via a VCR, you would have to put the TV on ch3 or 4 to get it to work.
