Coax to HDMI??

[satnut99]

Not sure if this is possible. Cutting D* cord soon. Have coax from outside to all locs where TV's are now, but only HDMI cable from where the D* boxes are up thru pipes to TV on wall. When I put up my digital antenna, bring it in via the coax, is there an adapter to convert to HDMI, so I can use the HDMI cable thats already there? Not really a big deal I guess to run coax up to TV's, just something else to do. Thanks for any replies/wisdom

You can buy digital converter boxes (they look similar to cable boxes) that convert antenna signals to digital.

They are cheap and if you google it, you'll find them.

Personally, I'd get a 4 tuner HDHomerun and then use my roku/firestick/etc to watch live tv through the homerun app. Or just run coax up the wall to the TV and let the tv handle tuning natively for best quality.

The homerun is a good option because it only needs to hit one coax drop. everywhere else can be fed digitially via wifi
