My tv is a sanyo ds31590. I need to connect to an acer aspire 5253-bz692 in order to watch netflix. What cable do I need?

No, you do not have to have Cable TV in order to get the Netflix service. However, in order to watch Netflix you basically need to have an internet connection preferable of decent speed. You will also need a supported device that will let you watch Netflix.

The internet speed will ultimately determine whether you get quality video output on the device you intended to watch Netflix.

You can watch Netflix on your computer or you can use a device (generally now called a media device) that will allow for you to watch Netflix on your TV.

The Netflix app comes on many different media devices, which you essentially plug to you TV and connect to your home Internet connection.

Newer TV have the Netflix app built in to them as well as Internet. These TVs are referred to as Smart TV.

Right of the top of my head are the following Netflix capable devices Xbox 360, Roku, Wii...

Here are a list of other supported devices on Netflix's Website:

its usually the connecting cable either into the monitor or into the computer try juggling them (bend them up ward a teeny bit ) if color doesnt restore, borrow a new cable BUT examine the pins on the monitor and the computer CLOSELY to SEE NONE ARE BENT

MM this postmight appear twice -I thought I posted it

I have experienced this- try bending the plug gently where the monitor plug goes into computer and also at the monitor end

If nothing changes try a lead form another computer-monitor Also when you take the plugs off examine closely (with a magnifying glass) all male pins to see none are bent

Unfortunately now days you will need a digital adaptor or a cable box. If you connect your cable feed directly to your tv, depending on your location you might pick up a select few analog channels still. To get full digital programming you will need the adaptor.

If you do not have cable or satellite YES you will need converter box anyone and everyone that uses antenna to watch tv needs converter Box.

If you wish to continue to use the antenna, you will need a converter. If you only use cable, no converter is required.

If you have a satellite dish or cable box, you may have a loose connection in the cable connecting the box to your set. Stargazer
