Optoma GT720 How do I connect the Optoma GT720 to my cable to watch tv? I do not have a cable box, the cable connects to the TV directly.

Robert, I beleive you can't do that. The projector does not have an input Coaxial. You are going to need some kind of box. Maybe you might have to buy an HDTV Tuner.

use a vcr it hooks up via rca and u can hook the coax to the vcr. then u can use the vcr controller to switch through the cable channels.

I don't think you need cable. If you already have a router and a home network, the TV will find it automatically. You just need to put in your password. Hope this helps

Sounds dumb but hear me out! Perhaps you didn't fully insert the optical plug into the TV. This slipped me up when I first bought my optical cable years ago and again today with my new EX72. Either the plugs on my cable are a bit too big or the optical ports are crazy tight when they're still brand new, because they seem to have taken the plug, but it takes unreasonable force to get them to actually click in.

Does your tv have an optical output? If so, yes this is what you need. Most HD flat panels have one. My spare tv is 10 years old and rocks it. What you'll need is a male-male rca cable (they typically have red and white tips), an open electric socket on your power strip, and an optical cable. This is really easy to setup. The hardest thing for me to do was plug the optical cable in... My tv is wall mounted, that's why it was hard. Once all the cables are hooked up, red to red, white to white, optical to optical, and the converter is plugged in you just need to access your TV's sound settings. Turn off your TV speakers and change the audio output to optical. Then you'll be watching your movies, cable, and Amazon Fire in surround sound.

One more time.... not directly to your cable outlet. You can connect the output of a cable box to this unit. You need to connect via hdmi or vga. There is no F connector or tuner in this unit.

I don't have cable, but I do have satellite. I hook up the transmitter to my satellite box and then hook up the receiver to the non satellite TV that I want to watch. Be mindful that you change the channel by changing it on the TV hooked to the transmitter. As a side note, the Terk has a pretty good range. Generally, I like to watch football outside on Sat. & Sun. The TV attached to the receiver is about 100' from the transmitter. The signal goes from TV/transmitter inside the house through two walls to the TV/receiver outside. I really like the Terk. Hope this has been helpful. ---Garvin I don't have cable, but I do have satellite.

it connects with an optical cable (supplied) to a port on the back of the TV (I have a Visio M-series).

It is not made to connect to a TV...it connects to a computer and enables the computer to display the TV signal by connecting Cable to it.

You plug it into a coaxial connect in the back your TV. (Looks like this: http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/homelib/h75ohmCoaxialJack.jpg) Your TV must have a built-in HD Tuner. (Most TV now a days have them built-in) Once you plug the HD Antenna in. The go to your setup menu for your TV and run a channel scan. It will find all the HD channels it can find. I have my Antenna on the 2nd story of my house and it works Great!

No We use it with the cable TV connection. Screw the cable into the eyeTV at one end and connect the other end to computer via USB cable. I believe you can use an antennae connection instead of cable, but we haven't done that. It's worked well for us, but what I don't like is that it comes with TV Guide, which is very helpful for scheduling recording, but that only lasts for a while--then you have to subscribe. they want $20 to renew that service.

I bought this TV a few months ago. It has a build in telescoping antenna as shown in the photo. Where I live, near mountains, it's not very helpful. My TV version also came with a separate antenna with a 3' cable. It uses a micro plug-in and works much better but it doesn't use a standard antenna coax. I checked and there are apparently no adaptors for the mini-plug-in cable style. The separate antenna works better but I had to mount on a shelf high on the wall, near a window. I get most channels in my area now.

If your tv has a VGA input then it's easy, you can just run a VGA cable (i.e. A monitor cable) from your PC/laptop to the television. However, if your tv only has HDMI and/or component inputs, then you need a VGA-to-HDMI CONVERTER, which you can search for on Amazon. The only other possibility is that some newer laptops have an HDMI output on them, in which case connecting to your tv would be easy with a basic HDMI cable.

I don't have cable or direct connected to it. It has to have a router to function. I have mine running wi-fi from my router through my Onkyo THX reciever. I use the Cat/Sat input on my network A/V receiver. And have the NSZ-GT1 connected to the Blu-Ray HDMI input. This thing is awesome!

I just hook it to the back of my LG TV and let it sit on the stand. It hooks up with a fiber connection.

You did not mention what the cable is to be connected to, if it's a cable box then you can connect to the television if it has video in and out

You screw it into the TV where cable would be connected (it comes with it's cable attached to the antenna). You need to have some TV broadcast tower signals , that will reach it , for it to give you reception .
