So I get back into my dorm room today excited that I will finally be able to watch my favorite channels without using my roommates TV. As I plop down my little 20" Sharp TV set I head down to the book store to buy some cables. On my way back I go to the dorm room and turn the set around to plug it in... Just to find out that the cable port is missing!
Frustrated from my bitter hate of anti-climaxes, I now sit here typing this for a solution from my community. With only $15.00 in the bank right now after purchasing my cable cord, I want to see what you guys think I should buy in order to get cable. Forgot to mention; I DO have a video and an audio port (my only two ports). I don't know if that helps but they work great. Any ideas?

erm... do you already have cable? if you do, you might want to get audio/video cable and it should work.

For my room yeah but for the TV, nope. I used this TV set only for my game cube (very old Sharp TV+old game systems = ftw), The antenna port (cable port) is missing from the back. But I have been thinking about using an audio video cable. I am trying to stay away from cable boxes and the like and just use cables, since they are VERY expensive. Perhaps I can try to get an adapter of some sort?
This is kind of what I am looking for. But will this do?

You consider the GameCube an old game system?

I have a GameCube. It doesn't seem old to me... didn't it come out around 2001? That's not THAT old. I mean, it has better graphics than most computer games, and runs them at 60FPS.

True, I do enjoy using it and don't get me wrong; I am a HARDCORE nintendo fan. But I have had this TV set before it came out! Anyway's what do you guys think? Will it work? Because I am way to broke to purchase a $100-500 cablebox, and TechTV's a-callin' -_-
