Video cards and TV-Out

Hello. I'd like to be able to run my video from my PC to my television. I have an "ok" television, about 39 inches, with a simple coax input on the back... No RCA, etc... And right now I don't have a video card that does TV out.

What are my options for achieving TV out to my television? Something that runs RCA to my VCR and then into my TV? Something into an RF Modulator? Any tips, specific video cards, etc, would be greatly appreciated.

Bump, I was wondering about that myself.

Would a multi-input RF modulator work in this way?
 
yeah, I think you do need a RF modulator. You can get 'em all over the place like walmart. If you don't have RCA inputs, this is all you can use
 
So which vid-cards would you recommend that would do TV-Out to an RF modulator?

I have mine connected to a VCR...that performs the conversion to coax, and lets me tape videos. VCR's are cheap / plentiful; the one I'm using wasn't even being used when I took it off the shelf.
 
What video card do you use? I'm trying to figure out a good video card that will allow TV-out to a VCR/RF Modulator...

Any video card with composite video output (that's the little round metal RCA jack with yellow plastic, not the larger black thing with four pins in it) will work through a VCR or a modulator. Even if it has only s-video output or something, you can find adapters to go to composite (it's really quite simple, you just combine the signals. If you aren't afraid to do splicing, do it yourself.)
