Hi I just got a new tv, it's a 60 inch Samsung Edge-lit LED TV. After setting it up, I noticed that it does not come with RCA jacks (which is a given, as most modern TV's do not) and my Dish network box only has RCA. Is there like a converter from RCA to RGB or something? What do I do?

Thank you

If your Dish box only has a single composite RCA video out then it is not HD and your new TV is, so the best solution is to get an HD box and connect it with HDMI. Kind of a waste to not get HD on the new TV.
If your box has component video output (3 RCA connections) then you would need an component to HDMI adapter like this

or get a new box with HDMI (will give you better HD picture than component video since it is limited to 720p and is not digital which requires additional comversion in the TV to digital which HDMI does not need).
