I'm trying to transport VHS footage to my camcorder to back up all of the old footage, however, the television/VCR combo I own doesn't have an output for video so that I can record the footage onto the camcorder..only video inputs. I'd like to know how I could get an output for video on the TV without having to buy an entirely new one. I've heard of RF Modulators..would that work?

No, it's not practical to add a video output to a TV.

No, RF modulators only convert A/V output to an RF output.
A lot of people are throwing away old VCRs. Perhaps you could barrow, scrounge, or buy a used one cheap off of craigslist.
Once you have a ordinary VCR, it's a simple matter to run A/V cables to the camcorder..

There is no practical reason to output video from a TV since that is what shows the video. You also do not have a video input on the camcorder. You need a DVD recorder to do what you want.

I think they are a good solution.
But why don't you try another TV just to be on the safe side.
