If your wife's TV has Component (3 RCA-type plugs)...

most recent consoles have component adapters, though they are often 3rd party.  I'm sure x-box has one.

They can be expensive, too, but they make your box look like nothing else.  Going from RCA to Component will blow you away.

This is what I'm talking about:

I got one for my PS2 at ToysRUs, though I can't find an X-box one on their website.  Try BestBuy, too.

he said it does not have rca's.

so you need an rf modulator

or a rf connection cable from x-box (or thrid party)

i like rf modulators, but it adds an extra connection, get the rf switch for you xbox

Just goto Future Shop or EB Games in Limeridge and get a RF connection cable.
