Answer:

Depending on the specific model of your Projector, you can either have S video, RCA, VGA or a few other choices of INput connection. Depending on your cable provider and hookup, you can either have a plain cable with F connector or a cable box normally with RCA connectors and a remote control. If you have a simple cable connection that attaches direct to a TV (no remote, no box), you would need a TV Tuner to be able to receive the different channels whose output would be a composite video signal into the yellow RCA jack. You would need an RCA to RCA cable to in turn connect it to your Yellow RCA Video INput of the projector. In the absence of a tuner, an old VCR with such a feature would also serve the purpose. In some instances either units may also have an S video connection. If you have a cable box with with remote, then there is no need for a tuner or VCR since its output would already match the projector's input. Either way you would need a separate audio amplifier/speaker for the sound. Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turns up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards.
