Output laptop through skybox!?

inode

sorry if this is the wrong forum but im trying to connect RCA(yellow video cable) through the output connection (coaxial cable) coming into the sky box. i have a adapter that clips onto the coaxial connection so a rca cable can be connected to it but i get no signal when i connect it all up.
im using a VGA to composite box from the laptop that works perfectly.

basically the reason im doing this is because im working in a lounge tomorrow night and am connecting my laptop up to their screens for visuals but all the have as an input to the screens is a skybox....

hope someone can point me in the right direction to get this all workin

This will not work as you are trying to mix two completely different types of signal. Video and RF are not interchangeable. You could use a video to scart adapter and use the vcr socket but then you have to find some way of making pin 8 control the digibox so it selects the vcr input. Only other option is to get a video to Rf modulator.
