You simply need an "F" connector to "Belling-Lee" converter. about $4.00. At any Radio Shack, Antenna shop. This screw onto the end of the existing antenna connection & makes it so you can plug it into the Socket at back of set.
I have included a link that has a picture.

    This Tv they are talking about does not have an antenna connection. Its really called a PLASMA DISPLAY (MONITOR) It needs a receiver to get T.V

No picture on Samsung HP-R5052

Just a couple of things to try:
You say you tried another cable box and a roku. Are you using the same cables? Are you using hdmi, component or coax cables? Could be a bad wire. True high def tv 1080 requires an hdmi cable for the best picture. The next best choice is the component cable. This is a triple cable with red, green, & blue and provides 720 resolution. The least quality is the coax wire which will only provide low def standard quality picture. Sometimes people hook up 1, 2, or all 3 of these choices not knowing what it all means. If thats the case with your tv it may just be a matter of selecting the correct input on your tv with your remote. On your samsung remote there should be a button for input. Try pushing that button and make sure it's set to hdmi or component, whichever your using. If none of this, is it possible the plasma tv itself is defective?

the 1inch black line is either a buffer board gone bad or the ribbon cable from the plasma screen to the buffer board, the snowy picture could be many things, including y-sus, xsus or tuner boards

Where do i plug my cable cord into on my 42 inch sylavania

Hello - The fact is that your TV, as a HDTV ready device, is really a display monitor that does not contain any TV tuner. There is no place to attach your coax TV connector.

To view TV on the unit you would have to either subscribe to cable or satellite TV service or buy yourself an external TV tuner such as listed HERE (I'm not recommending this tuner just showing the kind of device you would need.)

Regards and thank you for using Fix Ya.

I don't see the cable connection on the TV. Is there an adapter for this?

This TV doesn't have a tuner and thus no RF (coax) input. It should be connected to a set top box by component, composite or S-video cables. Component video (with three RCA video plugs on each end) will provide the best signal (a separate cable with two plugs on each end carries the audio).

I wish that I could be of more help.

My 42 inch sylvania plasma tv does not have a coax connection, so how do i hook up my cable to the audio/video connection? i know there is an rf converter to transfer audio/video to coax but i really...

Since your TV only has audio and video input jacks, you can connect those to audio and video output jacks on the VCR. Now connect the coax cable to the RF/ant input on the VCR and you'll have to change channels by using the VCR channel selector.
Let me know if you require further assistance.

I cannot get close cation on the sylvania 42 plasma TV. I have gone through the menu to set it up but it.But I cannot get close caption to work

Most likely it is in the cable box settings accessed through the cable remote, not the tv settings which are set up through the tv remote.

I need to hook the vcr to a vizio to record a football game while i'm at work

If you have cable no problem. connect the coax to the in of the VCR and the out to the coax input of the tv. just like you did with a regular tv, they work the same way. if you have a cable box, then connect it between the cable box and the tv. If its a high def box, then you may have to use RCA cables and then read the manual for the VCR to learn how to record off the line input. If you have a Sat box then you should be to do the same thing with that as you did the cable box. The TV does not record anything, get a high def box with a DVR no one uses tapes anymore, wake up and smell the 2000's.

You need an HDMI cable that runs from the cable box to your tv.
