How do I hook a laptop with a VGA hookup to a coax TV?
Q. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite l205-S5885. It has a place to hook a VGA cable up to it and the usual USB ports. The TV is about 10 years old with only a place to hook a coax cable up to it.

Can I record in HD from the coax TV Out of my set top box?
Q. Clear QAM and OTA HD use coaxial cable (and are HD), but I've been told the coaxial TV Out on an HD set top box would not output in HD. I have a PCI HD tv tuner card that supports clear QAM and ATSC. Is it true that connecting the coax TV Out from the STB to the tuner card would not result in HD recordings? If so, is there a component-to-coax cable that will allow me to record in HD? It would be nice to record cable HD channels w/o renting the company's DVR.
Asked by kendire12b - Mon Oct 8 14:21:15 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. No, because set-top boxes don't output in HD on the coax output. To do so would raise the cost of the box, and would allow for "unsecure" digital signals to be captured and recorded (and then copied and shared), which is something the content providers are doing everything to prevent.

Q. fibs99: Would connecting an antenna tuner in line keep the SWR down ?
Asked by The Skipper - Fri May 23 09:30:30 2008 - - 3 Answers - 2 Comments
A. You could burn the final output transistors of the CB if you continue to transmit with any mismatched antenna system. (this qualifies) You might make some interference on sets within close proximity of the CB depending on how good the set (and coax cable) is filtered. This prompts the burning question . . . WHY?

How to connect a tv with a broken coax input?
Q. I have a huge television, but the coax got ripped out and I'm trying to find a way to connect it to a coax wall output that has cable. Is there something I can buy to make the transition into the tv? I have a ton of inputs on the back of it
Asked by cummazelba - Sun Apr 5 17:24:45 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You will need to purchase a device with a tuner capable of receiving and demodulating the signals sent on a cable service. Look for either a "Cable Receiver" or a DVD/VCR with a NTSC & QAM tuner (these are the modulation standards used by cable). Hook one of these devices to your TV through a Composite, S-Video, Component or HDMI A/V port. Remember that you will be using the tuner in the "Cable Receiver" or DVD/VCR, therefore, you will use the remote from this device to select your channels. A RF modulator will NOT work. It has no tuner and works in the opposite direction you need. A RF modulator takes Composite video in and modulates this signal on to channel 3 or 4 over a coax at its output. A DTV converter does not have the tuner… [cont.]

Is there a difference between white or black coax used for satellite TV?
Q. The tech that installed my dish was adamant that the white cable was the only way to go for satellite TV. So much in fact that I began to doubt my belief that there is no difference other than the color of the cable. I can't find anything to back his argument up but I thought I would put it out here and see if anyone knew of any reason why the white coax is better than black coax in satellite TV (or any) installation.

A. If both cables meet the same specs and are the same classification, such as RG-6 the color makes no difference. You can get coax in many colors, including red, green, violet, etc. The color doesn't make any difference except for durability. Black resists the sun's UV rays better than other colors. The white cover will deteriorate long before a black cover will.

Can I combine over the air signal and cable tv signal in one coax?
Q. I just hooked up my hdtv. I ran two coaxes one from my outside antenna for the hdtv signal, and one from the cable company which goes to the cable box and then to the tv via component cables.( I don't want to get hdtv from them as it's too expensive). My question is this: Could I have combined the two signals( in the attic for example) with a splitter and then separate them at the the tv with another splitter, thereby having to only run one coax. Do the signals operate at different frequencies to allow this? Thanks in advance for the help

A. You should connect your Sat box to the outside with Coax. Then from your Sat box to your receiver can be one of many types. Likely you are running a set of component cables (3 thick cables with color coded connectors of red, blue and green) for video and then a digital audio cable as well. This is likely a single RCA or a optical cable. You could then connect to your TV using a single HDMI, provided your receiver has HDMI out, and has a function called up-converting. If your equipment is all new enough, the simplest would be to just run HDMI from sat box to receiver, and another one from receiver to TV.

Is it better to connect a digital cable box directly to a TV via RCA plugs rather than one coax cable?
Q. If I connect a digital cable box directly to a TV via RCA (yellow, red, white) plugs rather than via the coax cable, does it make a difference in picture or sound?
Asked by stick9999.geo - Tue Jun 23 10:29:18 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It is always better to send video (yellow) than RF (coax). The cable box is already decoding the signal sent over the wire. If you connect the TV with coax, the box has to re-encode to RF to go on channel 3 or 4 and then the TV is re-decoding it. The less signal processing, the better your picture will be. If you have a better video output from the cable box which is compatible with your TV (S-video, component, or HDMI), that will give you even a better picture. Coaxial cable is always the worst.

A. You would need an external digital TV tuner that has an HDMI output. There aren't a lot of choices. The two I know of are: - Samsung DTB-H260F external tuner, about $160 - The TiVo HD unit, which has dual digital tuners. Its about $250 new, but TiVo has refurbished ones for $180. I just bought one and am very happy with it. However, it does have a monthly subscription price of $13. It doesn't seem like it would be that expensive to have someone thread a coax line up the wall. Probably cheaper than either of the two above options.
