I finally got a modulator for the TV I found. I'm very impressed with it. I put a Nintendo emulator on my PC. It legit looks like the actual game console running in the TV. Anyone who has a old TV. Don't even bother buying the game consoles. Just use emulators, old TV and RF modulator.
You can find these items on Amazon India (imported, so a bit costly) or eBay. com (customs charges may apply). Search for keywords like "RF modulator" or "HDMI to AV converter." Unfortunately, I can't post the links here; youtube will remove them. If you encounter any issues, let me know, and I’ll add the links to the video description.
All modern TVs may not support the old analogue RF reception. However, if your TV does have an RF input, then yes! If you connect an antenna to it or may be just a segment of wire, it will receive the signal. For instance, my 2019 smart LED TV has an RF coaxial input, and it successfully picks up the RF modulator signal when I attach a wire segment to its input. However, if signal from the modulator is not strong enough (e.g., if it is a bit away from the TV), the reception may get poor.
@@igavik My next question is, "How do I do this without going to jail"? I'm seeing numerous videos saying the FCC will lock you up. What is the safest method using these devices? I'm confused. Many videos say you need the RF modulator to keep the Old TVs alive and the other half says you go to jail. Please break down the safe way.
@@100Bucks Unfortunately, I can't give a definitive answer to this since regulations differ across countries and regions. However, most consumer-grade RF modulators without additional RF amplification generally act as very low-power transmitters, typically covering only a room or two in a household. Because of their limited range, they might not be subject to strict broadcasting laws, but it's still important to check local guidelines. If the goal is to play content from modern devices (like those with HDMI output) on old TVs, the safest (and efficient) method is to connect the RF output from these modulators/converters directly to the TV using high-quality coaxial cables. This will prevent RF signal leakage and keep the signal confined to the wired connection, reducing any risk of interference or unlawful broadcasting.
@@igavik Thank you, that's what I wanted to do. Stick the cable directly inside. If it only goes from one or two rooms I guess it's fine. Not the whole neighborhood. 😂
TH-cam in 240p is all you need. Save bandwidth and it's still clear to watch.

Great! Happy to know it's working well for you!
Can you provide the links for those products?

@@igavik thanks bro that is helpful
Based on what I saw in this video. If I use the antenna option. And use an antenna on my modern tv. I can pick up the signal thru the air?
