Gamecube not working with Digital TV converter box?
Posted on Dec 29, 2008 under Digital news and reports |We have an analog TV and a Nintendo GameCube. We recently purchased a Digital TV converter box so that we'll be ready for the digital switch. We were also excited to see that the converter box had an RCA jack (the port where we could plug in the white, red, and yellow RCA plugs from the Gamecube). Previously, we could not play Gamecube on our analog TV because we didn't have an RCA jack or another medium to hook up the Gamecube (it's an older TV). However, when trying to set up the Gamecube, I cannot get it to play on the TV with the converter box. The welcome screen for the converter box comes up just fine but it won't recognize the Gamecube…though I'll sometimes hear the sound of the game that I have in the Gamecube, no picture though. Any advice?
I should also note that we currently have not purchased an antenna for our TV yet, so we do not get any channels. I wouldn't think this would affect the Gamecube but I'm out of ideas…hopefully this was clear!
Thanks to those who answered! I'm not much of a tech person so I had no idea that those were output jacks rather than input. Sounds like there is an easy solution, though.

Are you sure the RCA on the converter box is an input? It's probably an output. Check the I/Os on the instructions. If it's marked as an Output then you're going to have a tough time using it otherwise. Look for a switcher if you don't have ample inputs to handle your devices

The yellow, red and white jacks on your converter box are outputs, not inputs.

Like the other two said, those are most likely outputs. You need an RF Modulator ($20 at most at Radio Shack/Best Buy) to hookup the gamecube to the old analog TV.
