coax to component 5rca adapter

[citylite]

Guys im looking for an adapter to tap my TV from the basic coax line coming into the house. (I can only feed this tv with the existing component 5rca cable)
Can someone link me with an adapter for this, i cannot find one.

Even if you can manage to split the coax to component, how will you change channels?

Does the tv have a tuner? Do you have any kind of external tuner/channel switching device?

What is a "component 5rca cable"? But, offhand, I think you're laboring under a majof misconception.

I believe you need a cable box, not just a cable with different ends on each end. There's much electronic circuitry involved between those two connectors.

I think he means component video, which, if including L/R audio, is essentially 5 RCA cables.

Cable feed transformed from coax to component? Can't do it with an adapter. You need the circuitry in a cable box. Component video is analog and above channel 99, the signal is digital.

Yes the tv is fed with a component video cable installed in finished walls, my customer wants the tv to be connected to the building antenna without a cable box. If the signal needs electronic equipment to convert the signal would i be able to use a hk avr 154 a/v receiver antenna in and then component out to convert the signal?

You need a device that has an RF/Coax input and a component video output, with a "tuner" capability. In the old days, TV's all had tuners. They had the ability to input the RF, and decompress/split the signal and "tune" to the right frequency/channel.

Nowadays, a lot of "TV's" are just monitors. They display the signal that is fed through the input - relying on some external box to tune the incoming cable/antenna signal.

I have an antenna on my roof, but I can't use it because my TV doesn't have a built in tuner.

The HK AVR you list doesn't have a TV tuner. Only a radio tuner.

That's kinda what I thought. I've never heard it put that way before. Perhaps because, like uicorns, it doesn't exist in the real world.

Simply put, he's boned. A receiver ain't gonna do it. He needs a cable box, simple as that.

Thanks for the info guys.
I believe the tv has a built in tuner but if not, is there a way to split the component wire between the cable box and a second tv so i could feed two tv's from one cable box using only component wires?
(i understand they will both be tuned to the same channel)

Sure. Why not? google found this for me.

For only $2.52 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 3-RCA RGB RG-59/u Component Video Splitter | Video Splitters From Component

But if the you think the TV has a built in tuner, why are you so bent on using component video in the first place? If it has a tuner, it will have an RF input. A component video feed is not tunable.
