yes you can if you have a tv tuner connected to your projector. some projectors have a built in t.v tuner in them if yours does not have one built in you can buy a cheap t.v tuner and connect it to your projector by a hdmi cable or rca cables. and you can do the same with your laptop you can connect your laptop to your projector via the hdmi port on your laptop
Projector does not have a TV or cable tuner built in, so you need to first have a way of acquiring cable channels such as cable box or DVD, VCR with tuner then output from cable box or tuner to your projector.
A TV is meant as a video display device, not a source. As such, it might have an audio output to run to something like a home theater amplifier, but it would be a truly rare TV that has a video output as well.
What you should do is connect another device such as a VCR that can act as a TV tuner. You can run the VCR's video and audio outputs to the projector, tune in the channel you want to watch with the VCR's tuner, and you're all set. If you're on a digital cable system and have a converter box, you can use the outputs from the converter box instead of bothering with the VCR.
Yes, if your projector has a video input. Connect your projector's composite video input jack (usually colored yellow) to your video source. You said you want to use it to watch TV, so you'll want to connect it to the video output of a video tuner (such as a digital TV converter box) or a VCR with a built-in tuner. Set your projector to the video input and you're good to go! If your only tuner is your television, you'll need to check your owner's manual to see if it has an "output" jack. Some do, some don't. If yes, you're in luck. If not, try one of the other sources I mentioned earlier. Good luck!
It will work only if your TV has a Video OUT either in Composite RCA, S-video or in some other form although not all TV models have this feature.
Alternately,
you can hook up your projector to an old VCR which definitely will have
a Video OUT and use its built-in TV tuner. Of course you have likewise
to connect a cable/aerial to the RF IN of the VCR.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Good luck and kind regards.
