Even the $78 Walmart Blu-Ray Player has a composite video output. All you would need is a cheap RF modulator.

Radio Shack "experts" need to stick to what they know best, pressuring their customers into buying overpriced batteries and cell phone plans.

Yep, the only reason I go to ratshack these days is to buy minutes for my cell phone. And, I did buy my DTV converter boxes there; but, I haven't been a regular at ratshack in 15+ years. That was about the time that the knowledgeable sales staff left and were replaced by people who couldn't find their butt with both hands and a flashlight. Not to mention that RS no longer carries the amount of electronic parts that they did years ago.

RS is still acceptably stocked around here; I frequently go there to buy solder, rectifier bridges, common-value cap's etc....but they are indeed overpriced and the help is a joke....
