Hd over the Air with projection

[ixlegitballinxl]

Considering getting a projector for my bedroom. I know very little about projectors and the usual inputs that come with them. My area doesnt offer hd content, so im forced to use Hd over the air..im assuming projectors dont have built in digital tuners, so is it possible to connect one to it, so i can watch football on it ( its not possible to get a cable box due to the cable monoply)

although there may be one, I've never seen a projector with a t.v. tuner built in. You have to connect via satellite/cable box.

not an option, what about this:

I have a projector for a home theater and its great. But i wouldn't suggest one for your room and your personal TV. They are louder (depending on the one you get), They cost more on average, they create more heat if it is a small room, and if your going to use it for a tv the bulb will go out within a year depending on how much football (greatest sport ever) you watch. And the bulbs are expensive.

The majority of projectors nowadays employ the entire spectrum of connections: Single ended RCA, S-Video, Component, HDMI. Most also have some form of PC input (DVI or VGA). You're pretty much covered no matter what source you choose to play on it; but you're right in that projectors do not have tuners, so you will need an OTA tuner like the one you linked, or better yet, get DirecTV or Dish Network.

I use the Samsung DTBH260F HDTV Terrestrial Receiver in my room to watch regular television and it works fine. I don't have a projection t.v. but the picture should look great as long as your antenna receives digital channels and you output the video through either HDMI or Component.
