Ha. I did something similar, also to watch late night comedy. However, I used two 300 to 75 ohm converters and speaker cable to connect with a splitter to the TV. I remember proving my father and RadioShack salesman wrong about the proper adapter needed to go from 3.5mm mono to the female coax connector. I recently bought two 5” black and white portable TVs at a flea market for $5 total. One of them does have a video input. |

My friend and I did something like that to get cable to his room. He lived in a double-wide, his bedroom in the back, and the cable was in the front. We scrounged.
Came up with an adapter here, wire there, and some cellophane tape. Oh, and some thumbtacks.
Some of the wire was speaker cable, the rest was telephone cord. A pair of scissors, some cutting and splicing and taping and tacking - we had it ran.
Other than a very janky signal (gee - why's that?) - he had cable TV. We then proceeded to wire up his stereo to the TV (because we wanted better sound for the Sega Genesis, dangit!). In the end somehow it all worked, and didn't burn his mother's home down.
A month later his older brother saw what we did, and ran a proper run of coax under the trailer, and cleaned up our stereo/tv mess.
