Converter Box....Help

Question

I want to know how can I use my converter box and DVD player at the same time or I guess how to connect the two. If anyone can help that would be great, because I am so lost.

Answer 1

It depends a lot on the inputs that are available on your TV.  If you only have an antenna connection (RF in), your only choice is to get a switch and flip it from one input device to the other.

If your TV also has video inputs (e.g. a set of red, white and yellow "RCA" connectors) then you can use those to connect one device and use the RF connector for the other.  

Other connectors that might be on your TV include an S-Video connector and another kind of video connector that also uses 3 red, white and yellow connectors, that I forget what its called it is a bunch of letters that begin with Y.  Those connectors are a bit bigger than the RCA ones.

In any of those cases, there will be some way to switch "inputs" on the TV, usually a button on the remote...
