Rated 5 out of 5 by from Small, Simple device that does the job well My amp has three coaxial and three optical imputs. All were in use. One connected device was replaced, but it had Toslink output. The new device had coaxial. This device has done the job of converting one to the other. Over time I expect it will continue to work well.

I have a regular coaxial cable coming into a tv (Magnavox HD) that only has regular rca female cable inputs NO PLACED TO PLUG IN A COAXIAL CABLE

Asked by: Dick
This is an audio only adapter. You would need a device with a TV tuner inside of it like a cable box or possibly a DVD player to go from a coax (broadband) signal to a RCA composite video input. Unfortunately, we do not have a device like that.
