Anyone know any way, the best way, and/or the cheapest way to convert RF to composite?

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Cheapest? Go old school. Dig the VCR out of your attic. Hook up the RF to the Antenna In, then use the AV out.

Yep, you need a tuner of some sort. Another possibility is some cable converters; look for one with composite outputs on it.

I may be calling it the wrong thing. It was what the station engineer called it (rf )but maybe that's not right.
after looking up the specs on my camera (myself!) the video out type is BNC Composite Video.

and after some searching with the correct name I believe I found it:

Yep, that will work. You can also walk into a Radio Shack and find one of these: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102688 ; the only difference is that your version is also a cable. Just depends on what way you want to go.

That's it... You will be fine with the adapters John noted, that's what I used to get video into the TV decks before our new ones with Firewire built in.
