    Default You can't solve the puzzle

    Here's the setup:

    You have a PC with a VGA and a DVI output, utilizing both for a 2 monitor setup.

    In the conference room, ~20 feet away, you have an older TV with a coax and an RCA input.

    You need the cheapest and easiest way to take the primary (DVI) output from your PC and split it between your DVI monitor and your coax/RCA TV 20 feet away.



    Go!

    I'm guessing getting a wireless DVI for the tv is out of the question.

    You can get a dvi to dvi & hd15 splitter and then buy an hd15 to rca cable to go to your tv.

    athenahollow wins. I was going to say you need a Scan Converter, or an RF Modulator, but if it can be done w/ cables, cool!

    Athena's plan adds up to a hundred bucks. There's cheaper ways.

    you get converter jacks and then an rf modulator and put the tv to channel three

    that's a few things that shouldn't cost to much each, with all the cheap shit computer stores

    dvi to component or svideo(maybe both)then to rf modulator then tv

    But you can't just convert the signal, you have to split it two ways.

    so, what exactly doe you want to do? all you want is a moniter at you computer and you want to be able to see it on a shitty tv in the other room?

    and you have two different outputs on your computer?

    use one for each, and run the tv from the vga with salvaged shit from wherever.............
