   For the oldest one, I had an adaptor that hooked a cable jack up to the two   
   screws that the VHF antenna connected to. ;)  The other one had a cable   
   port and the Red-White-Yellow RCA connectors.

   Luckily never had to go that route, i.e. plugging in an HDMI cable.  When the   
   digital changeover started, I did have to get a converter box for them and   
   plug it into the c1994 set with the RCA jacks instead of the coax.   
      
   Offhand, I cannot remember how I hooked the older one up as it didn't have   
   any jacks, RCA or coax.  I might have ran that one through an old VCR that   
   had a coax in and out... I could hook it the converter to the VCR using the   
   RCAs and then to the VHF adaptor using the OUT coax.
