Is there a cable out there that will turn a cable line into a composite video hookup?

Question

I just got a projector...and I was wondering if there was a way I could turn my cable line...You know like T.V....into a composite video line. Thanks

Answer 1

Regular tvs have a "cable line" plug because they have tuners.  Tuners take the signal from the cable line and decode it.

MOST projectors don't have a tuner.  You can solve this by either getting a cable box or a terrestrial tuner.

Answer 2

you can convert just about any line level video (RCA, component) to an "f" connector, (coax cable/antenna wire) with the use of a modulator...

but converting from an antenna source to composite... not going to happen...

Answer 3

Now do you mean take your Cable TV and plugging it into your projector?  Unfortunately you'll need something to "Tune" the channels, whether a VCR or cable box.  

However, if you have a cable box this is coming from, and you have a projector that's Hi-def, you can actually run three of those "Coax" cable lines, put a RCA tip on it, and call it component cable.  Make sure though you use RG-6 that's very much shielded, since it can pick up TONS of interference.  

Yes, you can run composite, but it's the lowest form of video connections, I might recommend component or even s-video.  And yes, S-video can be made from two seperate Coax runs, you would need a special adaptor at each end.
