Coax to TV tuner

My cable uses a coaxial straight from the wall and no cable box. I haven't seen any TV tuners which have coax inputs. All I've seen are RCA input. Do I need a coax-to-RCA adapter or some kind of converter before inputting to tuner?

Are you talking about to plug into your computer?

I thought coaxial inputs were the most common

That's been my experience as well. Check out the Hauppauge models.

What do you want to do? Almost sounds like you are talking about TVs and not computers?
