Since this forum doesn’t have an Electronics forum (get on it kirupa!), I guess I’ll post this here :evil:
Anyway, I’m not too familiar with non-PC related electronic…stuff. I’m interested in getting an flat-LCD TV for my dorm, but all of the TV’s I’ve looked at only have component or s-video inputs. Cable TV service comes via a coaxial cable.
What is the best/space-saving way of going from coaxial to component? Is there some kind of a little box I can attach the coaxial to, and have the audio and video outputs plugged in the TV? I searched amazon and couldn’t find one, but then again, I don’t really know what to search for hehe.
Space is a large issue for me, so I am hesitant of having to hook up a VCR or DVD player that contains coaxial inputs just so I can watch the Cartoon Netwo…err the News.
Kirupa - if you have some time run down to RadioShack (or something like that if you dont have one near you) they would have what you need for sure! I bet its just a little splitter box or something like that.
Have you looked at getting a TV card for your computer as well? If you have a standard PC (not notebook) i bet you could install one in no time flat. I almost got one but then at the last second decided against it. My cousin has one and he loves it though!
I only take my laptop with me when I go back to MA. I figure the safer route would be to just go with the TV, for I don’t feel like getting an external sound adapter just to get the sound input from the external TV tuner to work on my laptop.
I narrowed down my list to include TV’s with coaxial input!
