sega mega drive
 
This is that time of year to go into the loft, and looking round i found an old mega drive and a lot of games like Sonic.
As the only ariel coming into the bungalow is Virgin to a Virgin box and the mega drive having a standard ariel fitting is there any way to connect to the tv.

whats having virgin got to do with plugging your megadrive into the TV?

What TV have you got? What connectors does it have?

I am trying to remember what output megadrive had. But, alternatively Buy an Xbox(original) and mod it and you can run emulators.....

I really don't get that question? Its just a coax that goes from megadrive to the TV.

What I suspect you have missed is a plee from someone wanting it set up for free, offer to do it for £50, I'll undercut you by a tenner and we'll split the profits.

I have now understood what you mean the small box which did connect from the aerial was just to switch over from telly to consul. I think i need to find a channel now.
Thank you for your help
I could give you a like if only i new how to,(lets not go into that now)

Having a senior moment

i think you can get an adapter if you dont have an ariel input on your tv.A quick search on ebay may get you an adapter to either scart or red/white,yellow input

here you go

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scart-cable-...d_sxp_redirect

ebay may have cheaper but thats what you want if i have understood teh question correctly
