It will work with an HDMI cable. I am going to buy one of these and try to get it to work with the composite inputs of an old TV. If it doesn't work with S Video, is there any reason to think using the composite cables will work? I would like to get 25' male to male cables, but I am concerned about the distance the signal will travel. Would changing to 10' increase the signal?

For 3 bucks I was willing to give it a try. |
