How do I connect a DVD player to a TV with only aerial input

I want to connect a REOC A3 DVD player to an old DECCACOLOUR TV. The TV only has a co-axial aerial input.

The DVD dosn't have a co-axial aerial output. What it has is a scart socket, S-video and a video/audio cord (Video/Y/Cb/Cr).

Is it possible to get a connector cable to join the two together and if so from which output and what should I ask for?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

John Doe

You need an RF modulator (or a cheap VCR with SCART socket edit: needs a macrovision remover as hornydragon says)

A modulator like this perhaps: http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/mod...50&modulecode=
