I can't get my NES to play, can anyone help.

The Problem is we got a new DVD/VCR which now hooks to the TV using the 3 colored Video&Audio things, rather then the usually way, and the Cable Box has to be hooked into the VCR, not directly into the TV.

So the think connecting my NES to the TV doesn't have anything going into where either the VCR or Cable Box would normal connect and I think that is the basic reason for the problem.

SO does anyone have any Ideas or am I total screwed?

If you can hook up your NES to your TV using the RCA cables (the red, white, and yellow cables) or through the RF adaptor (through the coaxial cable), you should be able to use your NES. You just have to change the TV channel to whatever you need (a video input if you're using RCA, or channel three if you're using the RF adaptor.
