How do I connect a projector to a coax cable to watch TV?

[Rastalamm]

I have this projector and was wondering the best way for me to watch TV?

I have no STB just a coax cable. Should I ask my provider to send me a STB?

If the channels are not encrypted, then you could purchase an HD tuner yourself. Something like this -- http/www.amazon.com/converter-recording-Scheduled-Recording-Resolution/dp/B0155O80IE/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1447096551&sr=1-3&keywords=hd+tuner+hdmi

Sweet!

Thanks for the quick reply. Will give the provider a call and see if the channels are encrypted or not.

If you can get them on an existing TV without a cable card, then they must not be.

Unsure yet.. Just moved in to a new place and have not tested any connections as all I have is a projector.

If they are encrypted, then an STB is your best option.

When you order your TV service, they will set it up with a cable box, just connect that to your projector like a normal TV.

Yea I figure that is my best option but they did not give me a cable box 🙁 I need to call them and see what the deal with that is.

Thanks for the help!
