yes, it can be done using a rca cable (video is color yellow), the proyector can be use with vga or a rca input.

I would imagine so, using an hdmi cable. But you'd want the audio to be connected to external speakers of some sort because the actual speaker in the prejector is pretty tinny.

Mine is connected to Comcast via a small digital converter box (provided by Comcast). In this instance, the digital converter box connects to the tv via a standard cable television cable (you screw it into the back of the tv to the appropriate socket). But, you could also connect it via a Comcast HD box via an HDMI cable to take best advantage of its HD capabilities. It has a single HDMI slot in the back of the tv. I have several other Samsung HD LED tv's connected to Comcast via the Comcast HD box and they work beautifully with HD cable.

If you have a cable box that is HDMI you can connect it to that. It have an HDMI In/Out

I am not familiar with "cromcast" but if you ment "COMCAST" and you are using one of their cable TV boxes and it has an HDMI connection, you should be able to connect it's jack via an HDMI cable to any one of the 3 Input jacks of the "Cablematters" HDMI Switcher. Then connect another HDMI cable output of the switcher to your display device's HDMI input connector, it should work fine. Of course be sure to select the port that the cable box cable goes to. (i.e. 1, 2, or 3.

it has only VGA, DVI and HDMI inputs, so if your cable box uses hdmi as its output, then you can watch TV on it but in most cases no it cant

no, you would have to have a media extender attached to the network to be able to stream media from box to TV.

It does not have a tv tuner card, so there is no way to plug a coax cable into the unit. However, if you have a direct tv receiver or a cable box that has hdmi or component out, you'll be able to plug that into the projector to watch tv. On a side note, I ended up returning this projector Due to color and power issues. I then purchased the viewsonic pro 8200 and find it to be a much better unit than the optima. That's just my two cents though.

It does have an hdmi input so if you have a cable box that has HDMI output then yes you can. It does not have a coaxial connection.

If you're talking about watching cable TV through it, yes, theoretically you should be able to do that. I say theoretically because I don't use it for that, but there is a coaxial input (in addition to the RCA video input), and it's job is to translate all incoming video so... You'd need to use the "video" settings rather than the "TV" settings as those are for the built in tuner. I doubt the remote would be fully functional for that however. The volume will work, but beyond that I'm not sure. If you have a cable box and remote then you're all set.

It would work if your computer has a TV tuner card or a USB TV tuner device. Otherwise, no. There's no way to connect it to your cable box - the only inputs are a standard 15-pin DSUB VGA input and a DVI input. It will only connect to a computer, and the only way to route the cable TV signal through your computer is using a TV tuner device.

If your cable box has HDMI output,then it should be no problem.......otherwise you can use the component outputs on the cable box.

Yes you can hook a cable box to the TV. There is a selection in TV mode for AIR or CATV.

No. I have Comcast also and it is not programmable with Comcast. Have to use the remote that came with the soundbar programmable with Comcast.

not sure. I don't have a cable box. You can find out by looking again at this product information.. This wasn't my answer to help my husbands confusion in working the remote.

I'm no expert, but I doubt it would work as comcast is on cable and not DSL. Two different systems I beleive

I/m not sure...I connected mine directly to my cable box or Directv box. Works great!
