You could buy an RF Modulator to inject your RCA into channel 3 or 4 for TV's without RCA. You can buy them all kinds of places online and locally (Wal-Mart, Target, Radio Shack, Circuit City, etc). Here's an example of one - LINK

"is it possible to actually use a original usb connector ... and connect to rca wires that way ?"
No. A standard USB cable only carries four wires for power and data.

Yellow RCA cable is video, Red is Right Audio, White is Left Audio. Strip the cut end of the RCA cables, the shielding inside of there is that cables ground, the second wire inside should be stripped, and that is the positive.
If you had posted about a half hour earlier, I would have taken pictures of my cable before taping it up and annoted it show exactly what to do.

Yeah I just figured all this out (had to ask a friend), and I'm going to make it hopefully tonight... pretty sure I got some electrical tape... but I'll post pictures of each wire if I have to so that this thing is dummy proof (would've helped a dummy like me).

Most of the newer hotels do...that's what my plan is for this.
