why not try and attach it and see if it works for you? otherwise you might just need an aulder tv for your playstation
Yes?

Does that not work? Tuning through the co-ax? (maybe I'm not understanding the question properly)

Yeah, I can get my VCS 2600 etc to play, so I don't see why a playstation wouldn't
I plugged the three different coloured PS2 cables into the thing that puts the three cables into one thing and then plugged that into the long port with lots of holes, but that didn't work. Googling suggested that I need an adaptor to convert the PS2 signal into HDMI.
It’s going to end up cheaper buying a second hand old telly

By "one thing", do you mean into one co-ax, or a SCART?
edit: (I think you mean the latter by "long port with lots of holes"; might be wrong)

Have you got one of these in the back of the TV?
That is SCART. IF your TV has one, you should be fine. The PS2 had an adapter included that turned 3xRCA (a red, white and a yellow cable) into scart. They aren't usually labelled as SCART on the TV though, it might say A/V or something else. Change the source a few times and you should see it (unless it is actually bust).

I think I have a spare adaptor thing. Away with work tonight but can check my box of retired cables and adaptors tomorrow when I'm back. It's possible I've only got the RCA to SCART adaptor and not the cable that goes in the ps2 though.

Scart connections are one way so just to check, does the scart adaptor have a switch to change it between in and out? The tv should only have an in socket but it could have both if one is used as a pass through.
Sure this isn't it but worth asking i guess.

Most likely thing is that the scart adaptor or cables out of the PS2 have died then.
