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.
no clue whatsoever. i'm technologically challenged.
yeaaaaaaah technologically......
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
So, why don't you tell us how wonderful you are and tell us how you did it already?
But you can't just convert the signal, you have to split it two ways.Quote:

I'd just try soldering extra wires on and see what happens..............well, depending on how much it matters, the computer could be able to adjust the power.................well, whats the worst that could happen?
I got it.
Call Geek Squad. then threaten to beat them up afterward and tear up the bill.
