    a friend purchased a new TV but he had 2 inputs into the TV he replaced which he needs to converted to inputs his new tv supports

    The cables are coming from analog cameras in front and back.

    Cable 1 - what i see one is a RCA (red only) to a scart adapter and then to TV

    Cable 2 - this looks to be just a coax antenna cable

    so hes looking for the best options to convert these to digital for his TV to HDMI

    Would anyone be able to direct me to where best to purchase. From what i see most converters are over 20e

    Does the new TV have RCA inputs? A lot of the time, there are three 'component' (RCA/phono) sockets and one of them is capable of doubling as a 'composite' socket. On the co-ax, surely the new TV has an aerial (co-ax) socket so can't see what the issue is there.

    Have you let it scan for channels? It probably still has to find the frequency the camera is outputting. If available might want to scan analogue as well as digital depending on how old camera is.

    I've tried ebay, Amazon and Aliexpress, all a pain in the ****, now I don't go anywhere except for Free TV Satellite, Aerial & CCTV Supplies | Free the TV | Shop Now, use the contact us page to explain what you are looking for and they'll sort you out. Prices are extremely competitive.
