If you've got an RCA output on your DVD player, you can buy a demodulator
(I think that's what it's called) to convert RCA to coax.  I think they
run about $50, and you can probably pick one up at Radio Shack or Best Buy.
If you've got a computer-based DVD player, there's a chance you can run the
signal through a VCR and get a coax signal.  I say only a chance because you
need to disable Macrovision, an option only available on some cards (I
know the Hollywood+, Netstream 2000, and DXR3 all have it).  I used an old
Beta VCR for this purpose for about 2 years (until I got a new TV last week).
