How do you hook up a computer to an older television?

You would have to have adapters and converters. The computer would need to output to a composite NTSC format, and you would need an RF modulator unless the television has a composite input. If it is an older computer that is not IBM compatible, then use whatever adapters included with the computer or made available for it. Some older computers already had the output as an NTSC-compatible format riding on a broadcast channel frequency (channel 2-4 much of the time). There might be special converters for converting directly from VGA, HDMI, or DVI to NTSC or even NTSC broadcast format.
