How to Connect the XBox 360 With Coaxial Cables

The Xbox 360 is a game console and media center that ships with an A/V cable. This is your only option to connect the 360 to your television right out of the box, and this is a useless cable if your television has only a coaxial cable input in the back. To get around this, the easiest way is to use an RF modulator. RF modulators are sold at most retail stores in the electronics department.
