Wow, there certainly are a ton of folks asking the same question -- for old Atari 2600s, home computers, etc. But all the "tutorials" I just scanned seem to be confused -- actually explaining how to go the other way. We do this to use a bunch of old CRT TVs for Halloween displays (dirt cheap), since all the $20 SD playback boxes we have only provide A/V outputs.

I suppose I may have to keep my 13" TV (or an old VCR) around for a bit longer... (I believe my old USB video EyeTV input device from ElGato still has an analog tuner, so I should be able to use that. It's been so long since I've even watched over the air TV I had forgotten I even had something that could receive it.)
