coax to hdmi
I broke the rf connector on the back of our tv is there a device to plug coax in one side tghen come out with an hdmi cable to get reception?
There are converter boxes on the market that will convert hdmi signals to coax and vice versa for cable routing purposes. however, these converter boxes are relatively expensive. from what I know there is no simple plug that can just be connected to change the cable over. This is because the signal format must be converted which means a box with that capability is required.
Depending on what type on what your situation is there are other routes that you can take to circumvent this issue that will also provide you with better quality. some examples are if your tv is of lesser quality, then an upgrade could be in your future. With television prices continually dropping you can find a 30+ inch 720P HD television for almost as little as the price of the converter box in which you are questioning. If your television is of higher quality then you can upgrade your cable service and run a direct HDMI line from your source to the television and eliminate the coax completely, this would give you much better sound and video quality over a coax.
There are alot of options available to you and many choices for you to make, see your local Best Buy salesman in stores or talk to a Geek Squad specialist. They are very knowledgeable and can assist you with your buying needs and cable service. I believe they have a direct TV contract in which they can set you up with for better quality.
