DVD player with coaxial output? - nick62
I have a wall mounted television that is connected to the aerial via a standard co-axial cable that is installed underneath the plaster on a solid wall (concealed).

I now want to fit a DVD player (or a combined HD/DVD recorder), and I do not want to have to smash-up the wall in order to fit a concealed SCART lead!

Is there a simple solution to my problem? Is it possible to get a HD/DVD recorder with a coaxial output or alternatively buy a module that will convert the SCART output to a coaxial one?

Thanks for any advice.

Coax cable - no

Scart leads - no

HDMI cable is what you need - much thinner than the above.

You need a SCART to RF modulator. Widely available, Maplin do them although you can get cheaper ones.

The DVD player will connect to the modulator using a normal SCART lead then you connect the modulator to the TV with a co-ax cable.
