Alright so the way we have our apartment set up we have a 2 TV's, one in a bedroom and the other in the living room. We have a nice LG 42" TV in the living room and then I brought a cheap Zenith 32" TV. The 42" TV is the main TV we use for my 360 and watching DVD's and all that. I'd like to set my 360 up in my room so they can watch TV/DVD's on the main TV while I game on my TV. The problem is that the only way I can hook my 360 up to my TV is if I hook up the DVD/VCR combo player to my TV, hook my 360 up to my DVD/VCR player, and then turn the DVD/VCR player on. The problem with that is that we want the DVD player in the main room so we can watch DVD's on the nice TV.

To make a long story short, is there a device where I can hook it up to my TV and then plug my Xbox 360 into it (because my TV doesn't have any of the ports for my 360 to go in)?
 
Doesn't your 360 have the compenent/RCA (red, white, yellow) connections? The way it sounds is that you are connecting HDMI or component to your DVD/VCR and hooking it up RCA to your 32" TV. Why nto just bypass the DVD player and go directly RCA to your 32"?

My 32" doesn't have the RCA connections (red, white, yellow) which is where the DVD player comes in. The only connections my TV has is for the cable. I then hook up my DVD player to the 32" via the cable connection and then I hook up the actual cable connection (from the wall) to the DVD player. So the DVD player is essentially the middle man when I watch TV or game on it.
 
Damn so you only have a Coax connection....

So what you need to look for is a RCA to coaxial conversion kit. Most likely easy product to find at your local Radio Shack.

The single plug on the back of your TV is a coaxial connection, while the red white and yellow connection is RCA.

However, you are going to lose so much video quality by doing this, won't look much better than a PS2.
 
I'm not sure what that is. Would you be so kind as to provide me with a link to that (possibly from newegg, ebay, or radioshack)?

How much should that run me? I can just get a DVD player from newegg for like $60 that will let me do the same thing.
 
Excellent. The only cables I should need are...

a) the cable from the wall
b) the cable to connect the TV and the box
c) the cable to connect the Box and the 360


right?
 
The modulator most likely comes with the coax cable to connect the modulator to the TV.

RCA from Xbox to your modulator. Coax from modulator to your TV. You're all set, just make sure your modulator is set to the right channel (you will see what I'm talking about), and turn your modulator on... then your TV. Should be good to go =).
