Are you sure about this ?

The TV which is near the computer is old - it doesn't take S-video input -
it has only
RF input - a lot of TV's made before 2000 have only RF input - i.e. antenna
input.

I assume I would either have to buy a S-Video-RF Modulator for 30$ or run it
through a VCR(which has a built in RF Modulator).

However, I am not an expert on this, so I maybe wrong.
