Hooking Your Projector Up To Cable TV


Welcome to chatterbocs!

Whether you are installing a projector in a family room, conference room or classroom, at some point you may want to connect your projector to your cable service so you can turn your projector into a big screen TV. There are many option available, but here is a simple and affordable solution.

First of all, it is always a good idea to have the cable tested to make sure you have a strong signal coming to all receiving points. This is very important if you are planning on using this solutions to broadcast to multiple rooms. Next, you will need a tuner box that will connect to the coax cable and convert it to the correct signal for the projector...remember that the typical projector does not have a TV tuner in it, so you cannot connect your cable directly to it. One cheap solution is to use either an older model VCR that actually has a TV tuner in it. A more reasonable solution is to use a TV to Projector Tuner Box like the Geniatech SuperaColor LCD TV [Click Here] for the installation guide. Another option is the AV Tool - AVT-3400 SXGA Theater [Click Here] to visit site. Both of these tools will take you analog cable signal and allow it to be sent to your projector. Remember that one will need to be purchase for each projector receiving the signal and you may also need to purchase additional cabling (coax and VGA cable)to make the connection complete. Any additional cabling can be purchase at a electronic store or a home improvement store.
