Convert coaxial connector to RCA?
I need to convert my satellite input that is a coaxial cable to an RCA cable without using a VCR or DVD player or any other component. I need more than just a connector that turns it into one male RCA. I need the coaxial connection to convert to both video and audio. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Sorry, there is no easy way to do this. Yes you can get an RF Adaptor (connector) that will allow you to physically connect the two, but it won't work.
The problem is that the video and audio signal from your satellite (your coax) is modulated onto a channel frequency. This channel frequency needs to be removed, which is what you need an RF converter for. Simplest and cheapest way is to use an inexpensive VCR or DVD, which uses it's tuner to do this. You don't say why this is not an option. Is there an un-used RF input on your system that can be used?
