MagPi Issue 44 had a feature on using the RCA out from a Pi Zero.

The official Raspberry Pi TV Hat only supports DVB-T and DVB-T2 so European terrestrial only.

You might get on better if you tried a DVB-S / DVB-S2 receiver which is designed for satellite TV.

You will need to get suitable software that will run on the R-Pi that will work with that hardware.

ATSC is a N.America TV standard and ISDB-T is a Japan / S.America TV standard. Depends which region you want to receive in.

This is turning out to be a big project. Im going to start by soldering black and red cables to the raspberry pi GPIO to the power outlet on the casio. Then attach the RCA to the Casio. I am in the US I will have to play around DVB-S / DVB-S2 receiver . Iwant to catch the news on a portable casio.

Sounds like a good plan. Break it down into one step at a time.

DVB-S / DVB-S2 is the European Satellite TV standard. If you are in the US I would expect that you want a receiver that handles the ATSC TV standard that is used in the US.

Looks like you may have your signal and ground reversed on the Pi Zero W there compared with the MagPi tutorial.

Looks like they moved the silkscreen label when adding the camera connector but pin 1 remained in the same position so needs checking.

You'll probably need to set the video mode to NTSC as opposed to PAL seeing as you are in the US, if so, the config.txt file will need to be:

sdtv_mode=0

instead of:

sdtv_mode=2
