How do i get reception with only a cable connection...no box. i don't know what settings to have the tv on.

What is the model? If it's a CRT TV it's because of the digital transition.

Connect RCA wires (yellow, red, white) from the box's "out" to the tv's Input 1 or 2 on the back input panel of the tv set. If you don't have RCA's you may use a RGA- jumper wire (cable wire made into a 4 ft segment by the tech or buy a short cable wire from the Walmart, Target, or Goodwill store) Connect this wire to the "cable in" on the tv and the other end to the "cable out" on the box.ADDITIONALLY make sure you have the right input settings selected on the tv with the input selection you make with the wire connection you choose.

If you get a cable box that has audio/video outputs on the rear connect them to a identical input on the rear of the set----direct connection and bypasses the coax fitting most sets have.

Go to the input you hooked to and leave set there--change channels via the box with its remote or manual buttons.

Call your service provider and have them re-boot your digital reception system.

The audio jacks on the TV are most likely inputs, not outputs. They're meant to take the audio signal from something like a DVD player, along with the video input on another jack, so you can play it through the TV. There isn't an audio signal coming out from those jacks, and if you connect your headphone transmitter to them all you'll get is silence. Almost all sets now have at least one set of AV inputs, but most don't give you outputs. The manufacturers figure the TV is just a display device, and not a signal source.

Unfortunately, there isn't any easy way to connect your wireless headphones if the TV doesn't have audio output jacks or a headphone connector. If you're comfortable with soldering and willing to do some modification to your TV, it's possible to add a headphone jack. Most people don't want to start tinkering with their sets, though.

If you're using your TV on a cable system without a converter box and the cable hooks right to the set, you're out of luck unless you're willing to add a headphone jack as I mentioned before. But if you have a cable converter box, or you're using a satellite receiver or other set-top box, you can use your headphones with those. These devices typically have direct audio and video outputs available on the rear panel, and you can use that audio output to feed the headphone transmitter.

What most people do these days is use a home theater receiver along with the TV. All sources (the cable box, DVD player, video game console, audio CD player, etc.) connect to the receiver, and the receiver's audio and video outputs go to the corresponding input jacks on the TV. This way, the TV is just the end of the line. The receiver also would provide an output for the wireless headphone transmitter. This system offers some advantages. You'll be able to connect the proper speakers to enjoy surround sound when not using headphones. And you'll be able to use your wireless headphones with the tuner and audio sources like music CDs when not watching TV.

If using a cable box then you want to set the TV to channel 3 or 4 as the cable box will output to one of those. If no cable box then its possible the TV's tuner is bad or your cable company only transmits in digital form requiring a cable box since this TV only has an analog tuner

HERE'S THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM:

A TV picture freezing is a typical reception problem. I think that there could be a problem with your aerial or set box. Here's what you've got to do:

1. Don't forget that there may be work going on at your local transmitter, or some kind of local interference.

2. Check with the local neighbors or another TV connected to a different aerial in case you are not the only person's aerial affected..

3. If only your TV is affected, the problem is likely to be in your TV, set-top box or aerial. If other TVs are affected, it's more likely to be caused by work at your local transmitter, or possibly the weather.

4. Contact your service provider if nothing happens.

Your problem is solved!. Thank you!

Sounds like a bad av main board -

Thanks,

If a cable box is not required for cable signal reception, connect the cable line to the ANT. IN connector on the recorder.
If a cable box is required for cable signal reception, connect the cable line to the IN connector of the cable box. Connect a coaxial cable from the OUT connector of the cable box to the ANT. IN connector of the recorder.
To view or record a CATV channel:

1. Tune the TV to the Recorder output channel (CH 3 or 4).
2. Set the Recorder channel selector to the cable output channel. (Example: CH3).
3. Select a channel using the cable converter.

With this connection, you cannot record one program while viewing another.If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not necessary to do Auto Channel Set.

U have paid cable, u don't need the converter box.Not even the analog tv require the coverter box, if u have paid cable or satalite tv or telicom signal.All ur tvs is hook up to the Comcast Cable correct?That all u need not, require the converter box.
