Comcast DVR only has composite out, want to split/share with coax?

I moved to a new town.

My old DVR had coax (from the wall) in and coax out. I put a splitter on the out so I could use the little 13" tv in the kitchen to watch DVR shows while I fixed dinner. I don't want to have the box serve the family room tv a different program or anything, I just want to use the same box to show the SAME program on either tv.

My new DVR only has composite (three wire RCA) out so I can't run the splitter into the other room and the video-in on my big tv is taken up by the cable box.

What type of RF converter do I need to get to make it work like it used to. The tv in the kitchen is not digital and I don't need to run a composite in there I just want to run coax to the kitchen.

Thanks in advance!
Jennifer

If you are using composite to feed the primary TV connected to the cable box (yellow, white, and red for video, left audio and right audio) all you need is a video distribution amplifier and a TV modulator. You connect the output of the cable box (yellow, white and red) to the input of the video distribution amplifier. Connect one of the video distribution amplifier outputs to the primary TV's yellow, white and red inputs. Connect another of the video distribution amplifier outputs to the inputs of the TV modulator. Feed the cable from the output of the TV modulator (which operates on channel 3 or 4 in the US) to the second TV. Tune the second TV to channel 3 or 4 (or whatever the channel is in other countries) to pick up the signal.
