Is there a way to send an analog signal, from my computer, to
my VCR and then to my older low def TV. Currently, the signal
comes from comcast, on coax cable, to the back of my VCR.
So I will need some type of internal or external card, with
coax connections, I think.

I assume you have an internet Comcast modem connection to your computer...so somehow you might or would need an interface device to your VCR.

You need to tell us more about what computer you have and what sort of output connectors there are.

A Comcast cable, enters my place and is split. One side of the
split goes to the back of my VCR (this is how I watch & record
movies & stuff on cable TV). The other side of the split goes to a
modem and then to my computer and gives me phone as well.

I have a number of cable connection gizmos. I can change
gender or split the signal again if I need to. All that's the
easy part.

Am I assuming correctly that you want to show YouTube videos on your TV? If so you need to output video and audio from your computer to the video and audio inputs of your TV.

To output video from your computer to your VCR/TV you need a computer/card with a composite video or S-Video output, depending on what inputs your older VCR/TV has. A lot of computers already have these type of connections, you should check yours and see if it does.

To output audio, you would take the output that normally goes to your speakers (sometimes labeled with headphone symbol) and connect it to the audio inputs on your VCR/TV.

For both these connections, you will need adapter cables, as you say you may have the correct ones in your stock, otherwise you can get them at stores like Best Buy or Radio Shack.

Once you have the correct outputs on your computer and video/audio cables, there are several tutorials on the web which will walk you through the software part of connecting your video card to your TV, which depends on your operating system (Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS's, etc).

Good Luck!
