I don't know what you have at your projector - but if you already have a computer you may want to consider an HDHomerun network tuner. It will take both ATSC and also clear QAM. You can stream the live tv through WMC:

If you don't care so much about live tv and have an ethernet connection at the pj you can use quite a number of blu-ray players and things like a ps3 to stream recorded content. Also a pop-box should stream nicely and will be released in a couple weeks and obviate the need for a computer approach while still allowing digital streaming over your network:

If you have a Windows 7 computer and cable subscription you may want to wait get an HD homerun prime, which will use cable card and allow your own DVRing of protected content for a nominal cable card fee

It appears that you are about 40 miles from the transmitters in Dayton. You might need a large directional antenna and preamp in order to get good signals. Check your location in Antennaweb.
