    I just got this new Acer LCD Monitor, it has a DVI in and a VGA in. Is there any way, I can take my satalite television (coaxial cable) and turn it into either of these signals? Thanks.

    No, cuz it's not just an adapter. It needs to take in the cable feed and power it to ur monitor.

    Remember, ur LCD is not a TV, so it need something else to mediate the feed.
