coaxial to hdmi question
Posted on 2/25/15 at 9:22 am
Posted on 2/25/15 at 9:22 am
I turned in my box as I only need my internet , but still have basic channels....since the cable is from wall straight to the tv, the resolution blows...
How can I go from coaxial to hdmi w/o a box to get those channels in hd ....?

Anyway when you program your TV you should pick up local channels in hd it might be like 4.1 channel

It connects to the TV. You got rid of the box.

There is no HDMI. You eliminated that step when you got rid of the cable box.

Those boxes take a VCR and put it on your 80inch SuperDuper HD vision Tron 3000...
You can't make COX WB into COX WB(hd)..You just have to find the equivalent digital channel...
Not convert analog to digital..
Just find the equivalent digital

And all of your channels above basic cable are encrypted so you need to rent a box from the cable company to view those channels. Specifically the HD channels above local are encrypted.

Your TV can probably scan and get the local channels in HD, but that's all you're gonna get

You should get ota channels if you have an hdtv. Try the 700s
Enjoy them know. Those channels are about to become encrypted. Charter does it and Cox is about to do it as well.
