Transfer TV signal to a projector - so it'll work

In this guide, we show you how you can transmit the TV signal to a projector.

TV signal: How to transfer it to a projector

• If you want to transmit your TV signal to a projector, it depends on the way in which you receive the TV signal.
• If you use a cable receiver, you can usually simply connect it to your projector with an HDMI cable and select the corresponding input signal using the remote control.
• With older receivers or projectors, the signal can alternatively be transmitted via VGA cable, provided that an appropriate interface is available.
• If you use a DVB-T stick, you can connect it to a notebook, for example, and transmit the signal to the projector via HDMI, VGA or DVI cable. The best results are usually achieved with HDMI.
• You can usually also easily connect a satellite receiver to the projector using an HDMI cable.
• If you do not use a receiver, you usually have to buy one in addition to the projector, since a TV tuner is normally not installed in a projector.
• If the connections are not compatible with each other, you will need an adapter or an adapter cable. For example, if your projector only has a DVI input, but the receiver has an HDMI output, you can use an HDMI-DVI adapter cable.
