I have never seen a TV without a coax cable hookup, a monitor yes but never on a TV. Strange.
I have. way back in the 60's and 70s they used to make 'em with 300 Ohm Balanced (Flat lead) inputs instead of 75Ohm Unbalanced (Coax) input.
And then there are Computer Monitors
Yes you can convert from Coax to HDMI several devices on the internet will do it. You can also go to other video formats as well.
Just GOOGLE.. I have two digital to analog converters that let my older Analog only DVR's record modern digital (They use direct Video/audio input Red White and Yellow coded cables) I also have an ATSC to HDMI converter I do not think the one I have does QAM (Digital cable) but it might.
