I tried that (i think) using a plug with a headphone looking jack (PC end) and RCA on the other end (RF-Convertor end).  The plug on the PC side might not be right.  Maybe the metal rings on the plug aren't the right ones.  Are you sure the above receipe will work?  If so, I'm off to Radio Shack or elsewhere =)
