How to get HDTV??

Question

I'm trying to get HDTV on my projection without an antenna or cable box?  I have an LCD with built in HD tuner, which recieves both digital and HD over coaxial connection (cable service without the cable box).  

My projection is HD "ready", but does not have the built in tuner to recieve the HD without a STB or antenna (as far as i know).  I enjoy and always have enjoyed using no STB, because my I like the features the straight connection to the TV provide (PIP, etc...)

What my question is, Is there anything I can purchase so I can get both HD and digital cable signals, without a STB and without getting an antenna.

I know theres tuners for PC's that are just USB connections, so I'm assuming there must be something that will do the same for my TV.

My LCD recieves HD and Digital, all in one.  So 7 will be NBC, 7.1 will be NBCHD.  I'm looking for a setup as close to that as possible for my projection unit.  Thanks.

If your TV is HD ready, and you're in the US, that means it has no tuners. If your set has no tuners, then you need at least one. You need to convert the RF from an antenna, cable or sat receiver into video, component or HDMI, to go to your projection TV. This can be a receiver you buy, a computer with a tuner in it, a sat box or a cable box, but you need at least one of them.
Except for the computer, all of the above are STBs. 
So you have to decide whether you want your TV to come from an antenna, cable or satellite, and then get the right box to work with it.
