Highlights
Quality
I am very happy with this product.
Product works exactly as it should to connect dvd player to older tv that only has coaxial input.
Shipping
It came fast and i give it a 5.
Packaging/appearance
Brand new item in original packaging as described.
It worked perfectly out of the box.
Competitiveness
I just upgraded my living room to blu-ray.
At this price, it can't hurt to give it a try!

This rf modulator even has an s-video cable connection.

I think it has to do with its automatic detection feature when screens come up with a majority of one color like when something comes out in front of a plain one color background and the background takes up most of the screen it looks like scrambled cable
