Well, does this TV have some red, yellow, and white sockets? Those are for the RCA cables that should come with your 360. If it's coax(the round one you screw on), you're out of luck unless you can find some sort of RCA-to-coax convertor. Radio Shack might have something of the sort.

Depends. Some have RCA jacks, some don't. Just look around for red, yellow, and white sockets. Some have them but don't have the firmware to actually use them though, like mine. If it comes with a manual, you can check that.

You could pick up an RF converter from Walmart for like 15 bucks, or at least I think I got mine for 15 maybe less I can't remember... Anyways you plug the RCA cables Locke is talking about into that and you also plug the coax IN cable into it. You then have to get another coax cable to hook to the coax out and also connect the other end of that to the RF antenna/coax port thing on the TV. I saw reports online about RF converters really degrading the quality of a 360 but it looks just fine to me, albeit I'm not big into high definition things. I hope this helps.

Many of the Composite Jacks on the tv boxes are composite out. I have two different ones, DTV, and Fios, and they both are video/audio out. but some do, it just depends on the model.

Haha no problem, it's not really a complicated problem but I would also love a new TV right now too so that would be the ideal option.
