Ok, my TV doesn't have the video inputs on it so I'm using a converter box. I have the converter box connected to the TV with a cable. Then I have an antenna connected to the converter box. It works fine, so I was assuming the converter box works.
So then I got my new dvd player and used the video input connector that came with it. I hooked it up from the back of the dvd player to converter box. Everything is plugged in and I've checked and double checked. I even poured over the directions, and I don't normally even need directions. I'm decent with electronics...
What is wrong? Why won't the picture show on my tv? The dvd player is not inputting to the tv. Sigh. Please help!

Well, the first thing is to check that you connected the AV cable connected to the right ports on the DVD player. Sometimes it's easy to get the cable in the wrong port.
Assuming all your cables are plugged in the right way, the RF converter you've plugged the DVD player into should have a switch for channel 3 or 4. Make sure you're using the right setting.

Looks like you are connecting both an antenna and the composite video (yellow) to the same box?
Both are connected via a single cable to the TV.
How does the TV know which input to select? (Video in or ANT)? See if there is a switch in the box, or disconnect the antenna.
