Coax channel changer to RCA

I'm deployed in Afghanistan and we get AFN (armed forces network) via satellite. It's then split up and coax is ran all over. I want to convert the coax signal to RCA for a projector.

For the life of me, I can't find anyone who knows what box I need. I just need to be able to change the channel and then output that signal via RCA.

No one here knows, I can't tell if it's PAL/NTSC RF or satelite...analog or digital. Anyone able to help me out? Everyone else's TV has coax input and they just change the channel via the TV remote.

Thanks,
Aaron
 
Looks like a cheap VCR it is!

I'm not sure if it's NTSC or PAL....it's AFN europe satellite that is then pushed out over the FOB...so even more convoluted! Pretty sure a plain ol VCR should do the trick.

Thanks everyone.

You're just making all this up as you go aren't you..... You don't know anything you've said thus far for a fact......😉

To the OP:

Maybe you could get by with one of those digital to analog boxes like this if it's NTSC...it's just a digital tuner that would hook to your cable and have RCA outs.....there are a lot of different ones out there pretty cheap.

wikipedia agrees with me

Media Services

AFN's television service is broadcast in standard North American NTSC format of 525 lines. All programming delivered by satellite is PowerVu encrypted DVB. While programming is provided to AFN by major American TV networks and program syndicators at little to no-cost, for copyright and licensing reasons it is intended solely for U.S. Forces personnel, authorized Department of Defense civilian employees, State Department diplomatic personnel, and their families overseas.
AFN-TV is available to authorized viewers by "Direct-To-Home" (DTH) service with set-top decoders purchased or leased through military exchanges (similar to a membership store), licensed/contracted commercial cable operators, purchased used from other military members (the cheapest option) or terrestrial signal. The advent of DTH service coincides with the phasing-out of AFN terrestrial TV broadcasts due to reclamation of frequencies by host nations.
