I have a led tv with no output function, so I'd like to connect the tv to watch the same image on a projector that has rca video. In other words I simplay want to connect my tv to a projector so that I can watch tv outside. The tv is connected in my Tiki hut, but I'd like to connect the tv to a projector so that we can watch the same think on a wide screen

There is no way to get the picture from any internal source (TV tuner or smart functions) to a projector.
You could use a separate tuner or media stick/box for the projector if it has the correct video output.
External sources can be connected to both the TV and projector. If you have say a cable box with HDMI and composite video out you can connect the HDMI to the TV and composite video to the projector.

I have a box that has a coaxial connection outside that I can run a coaxial cable from. I want to know if there's another way to connect that coaxial cable to run the signal to the projector without a cable box that I have to pay 15 a month for

Ah. Had a similar question the other day....
I assume this "box" is what we normally call the SET-TOP box.
Service Provider -----(coax)-----> SET-TOP -----( inside connection) ----> TV.
A SET-TOP box is the TUNER. Each TV must have its own if you intend for both TV to function independently and watching their own channel.
However, if only one TV is on at a time, you can, potentially, unhook the "inside connection" from TV1 to TV2. There is a cable length limitation to this, I say no more than 30 feet.
If you want both TV showing the same thing, you may, again, *potentially* use a Y-cable and split the connection into 2, but I have not done this myself, don't know for sure if it would work. Analog connections have better chance of working. Digital connection iffy.

If your cable box has a yellow composite video output that could be used to send video over the single coax cable that runs to the Hut. It would not carry sound.
