You can try an RF modulator. Results vary. Do you have a pic of the connection on the back of the TV?

One of these:

But the picture may not be to your liking. I don't mind it, some hate it tho. Depends on your card and the TV. If you can get an ATI 7000 or up they seem to work the best for TV's from what I've heard.
