Ah, my bad. I guess I need to bone up on my terminology when it comes to these more technical threads... I'm not much of a tech guy, to tell the truth. Apologies for any confusion.

Hrm... thanks for the replies, guys. For the record, I haven't done any mods to the 7800, so it's just the standard composite RCA signal coming out of the console that I'm trying to feed into the TV. I know I could use the adapter wood_jl posted and go through the TV's cable input - which wouldn't be an issue as I don't have cable on my gaming TV, so I wouldn't need any additional selectors or switches. I didn't realize S-Video didn't support sound, so I guess that's not really an option after all. Anyway, I don't have any plans to mod my 7800... for one thing, I've never soldered anything before in my life. I'd really rather not risk botching the job and ruining the console.

Pretty much what the topic line asked. I'm looking at hooking a 7800 up to a new-ish TV, and I've read that the easiest way to do so is with an RCA-coax adapter... problem is, I can't seem to find on in any of the local shops. I did, however, find a an RCA to S-Video adapter at Future Shop, and my TV has an open S-Vid input, so I was wondering if anyone here had tried (successfully or not) using one of these with a 7800. For the sake of reference, this guy here is the one I found. It costs a little bit more than the RCA-coax hook up, but I don't mind... I kinda just want to know if it flat out won't work before putting down fifteen bucks.
