Satellite coaxial plug to RCA to TV?

mhmiller New member Username: Mhmiller Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-10	Posted on Wednesday, January 06, 2010 - 03:04 GMT Help!! While attempting to connect a DVD player to my old heavy Panasonic TV it tilted off the table yanking on the coaxial wall connection from the satellite to the antenna input on the TV. Ripped the TV male coaxial connection right out of the back of the TV. Is this fixable? Is there an alternative, like coax from satellite to RCA plug input? Only RCA inputs are available besides the coaxial antenna input. Thanks

I just do a repair 2 months ago for same problem on a old RCA TV. I just welded a RG-6 cable in the tuner box and put hot glue to maintain the cable firmly, then you use a male/male adaptor to do the junction.

You could always take the tv apart and try to reconnect the coaxial connector back to the tv. It's only 2 wires.... You could use and old vcr's RCA outputs to connect to your tv, then use the coax input on the vcr to connect whatever you want as an input.

The satellite box is on another floor and connects to this TV thru the wall by F connectors. I need some type of adapter that splits the F connector output to the RCA audio and video. A VCR has been suggested but I wonder if there's a real adapter to do this.

A RF modulator take the Video and Audio then convert it in RF, he need to convert RF in Video and Audio. A old VCR work fine convert RF to Audio/Video.

I know I need a demodulator but apparently they don't exist or aren't easily found. Radio Shack doesn't have them. Has anyone tried a VCR in this situation?
