I have astro in the living room and we already have a cable to connect to another TV in another room. But recently, this TV in the room got problem and was replaced with another normal TV. After replacing to this TV, we can't view Astro in the room already. This TV okay one, tested already.

The cable in my room is as attached (cable.jpg) and the TV inside the room is as attached (tv.jgp). Which one should I connect to? I tried all but no success.

not sure if too old or too new.

just check if you tv got the female jack for the coax.

if no then can't use the cable u show.

but from pic u do have the av cable (red white yellow)

if you can fine the long cable for this then perhaps you could do.

btw check if your astro unit has the same red white yellow output jack

the coax.. usually antenna..
since the cable from astro..
maybe u need to tune? the tuner

i remember old times play microgenius need to pick a channel and tune it.

any old tv should have port to plug that in..

if still not working.. check if that port is ok or not?

Either your 1 is not a tv. More like a monitor. If not sure have a coax connector on the back or somewhere. Those tv connector you post here is not suitable for your astro coax connector. Those are AV connector for video in, audio L and audio R.

Or take the whole tv picture and show here.

It is not a monitor. It is a TV but very old TV (15 years old)....That's almost the whole picture already...I will try to take another one to cover all...

I tried to plug into yellow one already but still cannot see anything. Should I use AV1 or AV2 or TV? I will try out...
