Hi everyone! I have a great HDTV that I'd like to hook up to my existing cable subscription. I'm not concerned about the resolution or anything, I just want to get the connection before I worry about anything else. Problem is, there's HDMI, VGA, and a billion others, but no input for the cable (I think it's coax). Is there a middle-man box I need to buy, or some easy way to do this? Thanks!
Get yourself an STB with HDMI or components connections. Probably $5 more on your cable bill but you'll see the difference. cheezzzz
Sounds like your TV is a monitor. You need a tuner or something with a tuner in it. A VCR works fine for SDTV while an HDTV tuner like this would be better for you... Samsung HDTV Digital Terrestrial Receiver (DTB-H260F): http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...box&subtype=hdtvtuners&model_cd=DTB-H260F/XAA It has HDMI and Component Video connection plus a Digital Cable tuner (clear-QAM) that can receive un-encrypted digital cable channels. You could also use a HD-Tivo unit if you wan't DVR service and premium channels. Last but not least a Cable Box, as cheezzzz mentioned, would also work just fine too. Ced
