    Hi, I need to convert a tv cable - I think I mean RF, the cable that comes from my TV Aerial to the the phono type cables, Red, Black and Yellow.

    Is this possible and if so could you advise what I need to purchase?

    Sorry, I'm not technically minded!!

    The non technical answer is No

    What exactly are you trying to do :confused:

    well, I've had some kind of RF splitter fitted int he loft and that is also connected to the RF connection of the SKY box. This in turn feeds into four rooms via RF. I'd like to take one of those cables and hook it into a projector but the projector.

    You need a tuner.

    The cheapest way to obtain a tuner is by buying a cheap VCR, tuning it in to the relevant signal and then piping its video and audio outputs to the device.

    I doubt that taking your $ky signal via RF into a tuner and then on to a projector, will give very good results, though.

    I actually have a AEi Digi Sender - had it for a few years but the picture isn't good at all from the distance I need - are there any other ways to do this?

    Is there a way of getting a stronger signal?
