    A/V help needed

    Guys, I'm looking for a cheap method to hook my NES up to a new 4k TV. Composite, S-Vid and R/F inputs are gone on this baby. Component is a 3.5mm jack with another 3.5mm jack for the audio. Now I've got a component switcher box incoming, which should fix most all my other device connection problems, but I'd like to hook up my NES, and all it has is RF out (it's the top-loader, and those don't have the side RCA jacks).

    Recommend me a good "R/F -> composite" converter?

    Something like this might be a better option. http://www.amazon.com/Retron-NES-Sys.../dp/B000MFHH6I

    Just connect it via coax, it is not like it is going to upscale to a better resolution

    I'm too much a a purist to deal with the retroN. And even if I was, i'd get the N5. But the controllers simply aren't as good as the Nintendo ones.

    Again, no R/F input on this 4k TV. I'm not asking because I want to upscale. I'm asking because coax is the only output from this NES, and there's no coax in on my tv.

    Unfortunately, that USB device will not work with the TV.

    guess i'll find out. it looks like it SHOULD...but who knows. I'll play around with it. I also bought 3x more input selector devices. My old 5x1 pelican manual switcher just isn't cutting it for me.
