RG6 Coax to RGB possible?

Hi guys,

I have a DirectTV receiver setup in my garage that sends the AV feed
via RG6 coax cables that were prewired when the house was built to all
the rooms in the house. Now I bought a projector, Optoma DV10, which
only has the following inputs: RGB, S-Video, composite video, component
video, HDTV compatible.

Basically, my problem is connecting the AV signal from my coax wall
outlet to my projector, which does not have any coax input. What do I
need to connect from the coax wall outlet to the projector to get both
video and audio?

I am surprised that there are no modulators on the market that do this
type of conversion. I think RadioShack has an RF modulator that takes
RGB to coax, but I need the other way around. I know that I can
probably do wireless from the receiver to the projector, but I have too
much interference.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I assume you are basically sending the receiver output on Channel 3 or 4,
and all the TV's are tuned to that channel.

You either need a tuner with composite or s-video output, a new cable run
of multiple conductors, or move the receiver into the room with the
projector and run a back feed to the rest of the house over a new coax or
on top of the current coax. (Using splitters at each end.)

type of conversion.

Technically, you want a demodulator, otherwise known as a tuner. An old VCR
can to this.
