Hi, so i just got a Magnavox Mwd200f from walmart.After i got it, i realized my tv didn't have all 3 jacks it needed.But im using Mediacom digital cable and the cable box Does have the plugins it needs.I tried hooking it up to that but it wouldnt work. Is it possible to hook it up through my digital cable box somehow, or do i have to go buy a "Rf modulator" ?Anyone know how much a cheap one would cost?I swear its always something, cant ever buy one thing, always something extra :tazz:

.Oh yeah, if you cant hook it up through the cable box, why is the plugins on the back of the box then? its the exact red/white/yellow plugins that i need.. why would it be on there if it didn't work for anything?thanks

Hi and welcome to Geeks to Go. Have you checked with your local CATV provider (I suspect they provide the Mediacom digital cable box). There may be a menu option to select these inputs as outputs to the tv. Since they provide the cable box, they should know all about it. I suggest you start there.
