Is it possible to get an RF connector for it or do I have to buy an HD Tv?

Just buy an R/F modulator, or that game switch that GS/EB sold that has multiple inputs (made by pelican)... it was an R/F modulator/ game switcher. Just hook it up the same way that you hook up a dvd player to an RF TV. And if you have a Pre-cable ready tv, with the 2 screws on the back for the antenna, pick up the 4.00 part from Radio shack (RF converter), then hook an RF modulator into it. Or use a standard analog tv with RCA inputs, and you'll be just fine. There really shouldn't be a TV you can find that can't be hooked up (somehow) to an XBOX 360, PS3, etc. Although people say the graphics don't look much better on a 360 than an XBOX if hooked up to an analog TV- but whatever that's just an opinion.
Edit: Or you can hook it up to a VCR with A/V inputs on the back... you'll just need to switch inputs on the VCR remote.

Does the TV not have RCA connectors? Yellow, red and white? Nearly all TV's made in the last 20 years or so do. Use 'em if you got 'em.
If it doesn't, the above advice will work for sure. But the weak link is not the XB360's lack of RF out, but the antique TV.

I've seen them before but not in a while. I can't remember if Microsoft acutally put one out there but I know the third party companies did, like Pelican.
Here's a website that compares image quality between cables. It doesn't even look worth it to try RF with as bad of IQ that it has.

Here's an article showing one. The link to gamestop is broke so I don't know if its a stocked item anymore.
