Mac Book Pro to CO-AX TV

hello all,

i have the new MBP with thunderbolt, and wish to connect it to the tv in my bar.
The problem is that i can only connect to the COAX (traditional arial input) but i have no idea how tho get this working!

i have a thunderbolt to VGA adapter. A VGA to S-Video/composite, and finally a RF modulator to get to CO-AX but no joy!

Any ideas?

On your Tv, then the adaptor should work. What's the make and model of your TV?
 
Buy a new TV that doesn't use a 20 year old interconnect?

Running it through a bunch of converters doesn't sound that sensible to me.

i have two samsung tv's one LED one LCD.

both are connected via CO-AX cable to my SKY decoder, a Freebox, and i want to connect my computer to put the visualiser from itunes through the screens in the evenings
 
The Samsungs should have the more common PC connections such as VGA/DVI/HDMI.

Converting Displayport -> VGA -> Composite -> RF is a bit crackers.
 
i know it's crackers! but the cables are already laid in the walls so i can't run new ones 🙁
 
i've tried all the resolutions that my MBP lets me try, but still no picture...i tried with a PC laptop and i can get it to work grrrrrrrr!
