Hi. I have an old satellite receiver that only has the yellow video out but a HDTV that I would like to buy has only the RBG video inputs.

Can I hook my equipment up with a regular RCA r/w/y cable and use only one of those component video inputs and cheat?
 
Solution
No, but if you google, "Composite to Component converters", you should be able to find what will work. I would note that higher resolution HDTVs (component inputs) will not display lower resolution signals (composite outputs) very well.
