You can connect it using the harness in the picture I've included, but you won't get sound. Follow the link at the bottom of the page to my other post for a description. Give me a day or two and I'll put something together that will be similar, but sound included. The sound method is going to be a combination of the two adapters in the picture. You will modify the female RCA to mini phone plug to accept the headphone into the circuit. Thanks for being patience. This is a fun challenge.

Wow, thanks so much! I am really excited to try this. Seems pretty simple as well.
That said, do you think that is all that would be needed to get a picture on the watch? Would I have to still get a converter box or could that coax be hooked straight to a current cable box/DVD player?
I am heading out early tomorrow till Tuesday night but might have to make a stop at Radioshack first to see what I can find!

Nice!

I'm sure you could connect to whatever you'd want with a video output from coax. Cable/satellite/dvd.

You will need a CECB with a coaxial output connection. I thought about it a bit over night and came up with what I believe will work for picture and sound using the headphone included in the circuit. You will need to add a phone plug Y connector into the mix. You will plug the CECB harness into the one side of the Y connector and the headphones into the other side. See the picture. I don't guarantee this all will work, but it should. It may take a liitle modification to the Y adapter, but probably not. Let us know how all works out. Good Luck!

That makes sense. I just got home so will have to shop around for the parts. I have a Y somewhere around here. Will need to hit Radioshack for the phones>COAX connector. Then of course the CECB. Hope it all works out! Will keep you posted.

If radioshack doesn'thave those parts, there are a lot of specialty stores online that might have what you're looking for. When I get home, I'll try to find a few in my bookmarks.

Hit Radioshack up and got everything I need but the converter. I had a Y already, and the Shack had the adapters to go from COAX to mini phones. Just need to figure out what converter I will get and then see if it works.
One thing, will this only work with broadcasted video or can I hook it up to a DVD player or other devise sending out a video signal?

It should work with any device with the same type of video out connection. VCR, DVR, DVD, you could try an XBOX too.

To be able to connect a DVD player you would need an RF modulator to convert the signal to radio frequency. You would connect the composite output cables from the DVD player to the modulator. Then connect the coaxial cable from the RF modulator to the Harness you built. At this point you could connect anything that has a composite output. Do you remember the watch is only black and white? You won't get a color picture from this with what ever signal you input. Just an FYI.
