Hi Guys

I recently bought ps3. I tried to connect it to a old tv, which has only a cable input. It has noAV input. Ibought an RF modulator, still the tv didn't detect my ps3. Please help me.

I know it will be good to have a new tv. But the problem is in my job i move from city to city. Mostly i stay in hotels.

Any ideas other than buy a new tv?

If it's a Samsung, you have to turn the ps3 on... I got a little freaked but figured it out 30 secs later. The tv doesn't go to the inputs unless the dvd player/console is on.

Other than that, I can't hellp you :(

If you're luggin around an old 24" you could always pickup a newer LCD 20" and be set.
