Hi , I have coaxial cable coming out of the wall , which is connected to Set top box , but the output of it is again a coaxial cable. Can i use coaxial to HDMI converter and connect it to laptop ?

i am 99% sure that your laptops hdmi is "hdmi out". You can make your laptop a TV with a USB TV tunner in example

(but you can do more research, i just liked the first from newegg )

Note that the tumer suggested is an analog tuner. If you need a digital tuner in your area or with your setup, you will need adifferent device. If you have 'cable TV', such as Comcast, the suggested card will work fine, but might also need a set-top box.
Update - brain cramp -- you said you had a set-top box - this adapter will work fine, as long as the drivers work. It is only stated to support through Windows XP, and there may not be drivers for Windows 7 or 8.
