If your projector is not HD you can use a antenna and ova digital converter box (meant for non HD TVs with NTSC analog tuners)..
If it is HD then you want an antenna and an ATSC HD tuner (it will have HDMI out) so you can get the superior picture quality. Some have DVR functions and even more than one tuner. Most have coaxial digital audio output.
To make the connections the best way is get an HDMI input selector with audio extraction like this one

Connect your sources to the switch box with HDMI and it will provide an optical connection to the HTS and select the video for the projector.
