I have a sony projector (1272) and am using the Sony switcher with rgbvh connectors.

I am canceling my Direct tv.

Besides a antenna, What do I need to buy to get local stations? It will have to run thru the switcher.

Advice appreciated. Thank you.

Merry Christmas to!!

AN over the air tuner box like this: http://www.amazon.com/Mediasonic-HW-150PVR-HomeWorx-Converter-Recording/dp/B00I2ZBD1U/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1450821552&sr=8-5&keywords=mediasonic&tag=curtpalmecrtp-20

This one you can plug a USB hard drive into and record your shows.

You'll need a way to get from Component to RGBHV like a transcoder or from HDMI to RGBHV like an HDFury.

Have a look here to see what's what with the over the air stuff: http://antennaweb.org/Info/Resources.aspx

Do they make a tuner box that accepts a rgbvh break out cable?

I doubt it. Nobody but us antique-collectors uses RGBHV any more. Laughing

That's why we have HDMI -> RGBHV converter boxes.

All I want to do is watch local channels, I don't record anything. I have a moome HDMI card in the switcher but it's 2 outputs are in use

Kworld made a tuner with VGA out. Careful when you're looking though, there are two versions, the other one is DVI/HDMI.

Alternatively you could just add an HDMI switch to one of those inputs on your Moome card and order the box I linked to up top.
