Hook up HDTV tuner to projector

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I use an OTA samsung SIR-T151 (now obsolete, I believe SIR-T451 is the
current version) plugged into my InFocus X1 via component video cables.
(Neither the SIR-T151, nor my projector has DVI) - SIR-T451 probably does
have DVI.

The picture quality via component cable is excellent when viewing HD
material, SD quality varies from OK to terrible depeding on the quality of
the broadcast - terrible being relative term - it looks fine on a standard
20" TV, but really shows it's limitations on a big screen.

I use a CM 4248 rooftop antenna with good results.

Dont bother with Composite or S-Video. (Well, you can try it and see, as you
likely already have the cables to connect) - But as you have DVI, I think
that would be the way to go.

checkout http://www.remotecentral.com/hdtv for advice/info, I learned a lot
there.
