My tv has a bad hdmi port that has poor quality so i have to use a hdmi to DVI cable for it to connect to my computer, Now my computer has a 3.5mm audio jack so i can get audio fine but im looking to buy a blu ray player and i don't see any Blu Ray Players that are cheap with 3.5mm audio jacks. So does that mean i cannot get audio? or do Blu Ray Players have an option to have Video only though hdmi and Audio though something like RCA? it seems like they should have a feature like that but i have never owned one and cant find anything online about it, Thanks in advance for any info you can share.

Most DVD and blu ray players have RCA audio/video outputs that are always active. There is no such thing as HDMI with video only, but that's not an issue. Just connect with HDMI to DVI the way you are now. Then connect to the RCA stereo outputs with a cable that has RCA one one end and the 3.5mm jack on the other end.
There's only one problem, are you going to run this into a PC monitor? People post about this problem just about every day and it has to do with HDCP. Not all computer devices are HDCP compliant, so this means that you might not get a picture. So this will work, but since you didn't give too much detail, I'm not sure if you'll run into a HDCP issue.

What do you mean "right channel"?
While an RF modulator can be used to convert video signals from a DVD or Blu-ray player into a coaxial cable signal that is then tuned by the TV tuner this a) gives poor results (and won't work with digital tuners), and b) is unnecessary with an HDTV. It's much better to connected the video outputs of a Blu-ray player direct to one of the HDTV video input jacks ... preferably using an HDMI cable, but alternatively component (triple RCA cable coded red.green.blue), or as a last resort, composite (yellow RCA)). You then don't have to select a channel (you aren't using the tuner) since you are feeding the signal direct to the display from the Blu-ray player. All you have to do is select the right input port on the TV.
If you DON'T have a HDTV you won't get ANY benefit from Blu-ray ... take the player back and get your money back.
