Can I connect a DirectTV/DVR directly to a projector and watch tv?

Question

Or does it have to be connected directly to an actual television set?

Answer 1

Yes, you can run your DVR direct to the pj using VGA, S Video or component.  However, you won't get sound unless you run the audio as well.

Answer 2

Depends on the models you are using!

My projector takes S-Video/VGA/Composite; my DVR outputs on SCART so I use a composite adaptor (seperates audio and video onto RCA's) and it looks great.

So yes, but as ususal, make sure the two items tie up easily.
