If you want to throw money down the drain, it's simple - you buy this product. I made the mistake of purchasing this without reading past the first spotlight review. Seemed like a good deal, but after I had to buy an RF modulator because I have an older tv and then having to purchase an S-video cable, and the darn thing still didn't receive a cable signal....I was now an additional $40 in the hole. And that's not counting what it costs just to ship the thing back to the losers at Discountjungle. Don't waste your money......pay more for a better brand...it will pay off in the long run.
