I do have VGA can I bypass the converter with a VGA-SVideo ot VGA-RCA and use just the RF adapter. All the TV's are older.
Thank you

LuanaR,
Click on the link above...
And learn from my bad experience by reading the product introduction to understand what you are asking a little better!

I purchased one of these adapter cables ( VGA to RCA or S-Video ) locally ( 60 miles away ) a few years ago for my vga only laptop. When I found out my laptops video card didn't support the tv out from vga capability, I didn't return it, because it wasn't worth a special trip to get a refund of $14.95 + tax. I eventually found this website ( monoprice.com ) and have ordered their converter, and find it's size and ease of use, to be very good, and at about a third of the price of the Radio Shack Gigaware version that I had to return, after a couple of fruitless hours trying to make it work, and since it was a resealed box (only one left), I couldn't try another one to see if I had a broken unit, or was just not following it's sparse and unclear instructions to make it perform!

So your question here might save you the time and expense, of trying a cable adapter, instead of a converter, if your laptop's video card will not support the tv out, through the vga connection...
