stupid question: is it possible to convert coax to hdmi?
hillkill:
i can either spend $10 more a month for a cable box that has an hdmi out or i could spend $10 less and have stuffty quality coax.
is it possible to convert the coax signal to hdmi via some sort of adapter?
otto-san:
pretty sure it's not worth it. if you want HD, just get the HD box. otherwise, i don't think there's much a point in bothering with digital conversion, even if you could, unless you absolutely have to in order to get a signal to your TV. simply converting to a digital HDMI signal isn't going to make your video better to look at
a brief search only turned up devices to go the from digital to brown townog tho, not the other way around, since i figure most TVs still have coax input. if the problem is that your TV doesn't i imagine there's gotta be somethin out there but i didn't find it within 5 minutes

how exactly? i have netflix but that doesn't permit me to watch channels that i like.

there are adapters but they are like 100$ or something since they have to be powered to convert brown townog > digital
