is it possible to broadcast VHF from my laptop?

for instance: Older tv is set to channel 3 and picks up a video sent from my laptop

>>	Tri !NITRoNo3B. 02/28/12(Tue)06:17 No.23211498 you'd probably need a bigass antenna. if your tv seriously doesn't even have a cable input you should probably throw it away.

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)06:21 No.23211551 if you got a giant antenna this would be illegal, but for such close range use it shouldn't be an issue

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)06:28 No.23211627 Well, vga to composite isn't a huge jump. It would be more interesting if a USB or PCMCIA card which would operate in the 700MHZ band.

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)06:35 No.23211710 vga to rf coax is a huge jump. vga to composite is easy.

Assuming you didn't mean you want to actually "broadcast" through the air:
Laptop -> TV would be difficult if you only have VGA/DVI/HDMI.
Desktop -> TV is easy, lots of older vidya cards have composite or s-video outs. If your TV doesn't have those inputs, you can use a VCR or a standalone RF modulator to convert to channel 3/4 VHF signal.

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)06:58 No.23211882 >>23211839 that would only get you a greyscale image, no?

>>	Anonymous 02/28/12(Tue)07:00 No.23211899 yes, because composite and component are just pinouts of what VGA is already sending out. you can easily make your own cable which gives you the full spectrum, or even better buy a shitty online.
