Adapter or what?

[Redfred1]

I just bought two new bedroom HDTV's. They have the antenna/cable input; only one video input; and two HDMI ports. The satellite dish uses the video input. I also have a security camera that uses a video input. Question? Is there a plug and play adapter I can use and connect to the HDMI port? Definitely a novice on this. Any help please?

There are a couple of RCA to HDMI converters out there, just Google 'em. I don't know how well they work, but they are out there. Maybe about $100 or so.

Get hdtv satellite boxes. No reason to even have an hdtv if you view in he.

Thump; they came from Dish. They hooked up from the receiver to the video input on the TV. The antenna is for local stuff; I'm guessing.

Kogs; only paid 50 bucks for the camera. Mainly used it to make sure the grand

kids made the school bus.

After my recent cataract surgery and the new TV; the picture is great!

Thanks for the answers.

Perhaps an AV switch box. I saw a 4 port one for 50 bucks. With remote on amazon. Down side, another box.

A lot of the satellite boxes have an input for antenna and then you just need from the box to tv. The satellite box would handle all the tuning of the OTA.
