How to hook a projector to basic cable?

How do I hook up my RF cable to my projector that does not have an RF input?

• The projector has SVGA, S-vid, & RCA inputs. I want to hook it up to my TV cable and my old school SNES.

• Answer:

  Gp4rts is correct (as he usually is) and so is bbyhtguy. A modulator is for the reverse situation (RCA to Coax), so it would not be helpful to you. As said by a few others, the easiest way to do this would be to use a VCR that has a built in TV tuner. Almost all modern VCRs come with a TV tuner built in. Simply hook up your cable TV to the RF box on your old SNES (awesome by the way, I do this too) and your SNES RF box to your VCR input. The VCR should have 3 RCA outputs, and you plug those into your projector. This solves your problem. However there are a few other things you might want to consider. A) Your projector may or may not have audio playback. If it does not, you will need a separate audio device, such as a home theater sound system. B) RCA video does not usually look very good on a large screen projection. You may be disappointed with the quality of your TV signal, it will likely look blurry, depending on how large you are projecting the image. RCA only has something like 480 lines of resolution (I believe, it is around there but this may not be an exact count) while your projector is likely able to project a much higher resolution. Your SNES will look great at this resolution as the pixels on the old game systems are huge. My SNES looks great on a 40 foot screen (In a movie theater I used to manage) using RCA inputs. If you really want to get great looking pictures for your TV as well, you would need a cable box with a SVGA output (Not likely) or component video outputs (Which are easily converted to SVGA). But, try it, see if you are happy with the results. I hope this helps
