Do you keep connected to cable to get the channels not reached with this?

I don't have cable, so I'm not an expert. I think all of the cable stations bring in over-the-air channels except those they decide to block. If you want to receive the blocked stations, my guess is that you could disconnect the cable, hook up the digital antenna and view the station. But I'm not sure.

I do not. I have the other TV'S connected to cable & this TV is in the spare room and I do not also have the cable connected.

No. And a side note, Comcast disconnected that room's cable jack without notifying me. I discovered that as well. No biggie on the antenna. The primary goal has been overwhelming achieved. Thanks!

Not properly. I tried hooking it up and it will pick up channels but they do not register like the time warner channels. They have their own numbering system of some kind and would make it very difficult to find the channel you are looking for.

The "Yes" answers to this question conflict with responses on other questions - I think you can attach an antenna to the device and it will pick up the channels - you do NOT need cable tv or a tv - my understanding is that is the device is basically a tv receiver (without a monitor).

Actually, that's what I'm using it with right now. Pulled it out of storage, got a second cable box, have it set to E1 instead of using its own tuner (to avoid any issues with channels changing unexpectedly again) and pulling in the channels via the cable box instead. Works fine using it that way.

A similar thing happened to me in which some channels did not work. It seems that if you use cable splitters, the signal gets attenuated causing some channels to be received intermittently. When I plugged into a cable line without a splitter and with a short cable to my AverMedia device, I was able to receive all channels. A cable amplifier may help.

I'm on my second cable box. Same problem on both, although the second box does get a better signal for the non-HD stations. Let me know how it goes.

Since I haven't used one with a cable set up, I hate to be giving any advice. Here is a link to the manual: http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/m/mdr515h_f7/mdr515h_f7_dfu_aen.pdf In the connections, it clearly shows connecting to either an antennae or a signal from a cable company. First, of course, you need to make sure your cable company doesn't require a special box to receive signals. On page 49 of the manual it indicates selecting up to channels 125 or 135 (analog or digital), so it may not do stations higher than that, but I'm not an expert!

Use the 2 outside connections. It doesn't matter which antenna you plug into each of the connections.

To be honest, I don't know because I haven't had that problem. We got our device for our guest bedroom which doesn't have a cable connection, so we rarely had to use our device. Sorry I was unable to help.

The antenna on to is the only connection , use an adapter to connect to your coax. This should achieve what your looking to do.

If such channels still exist and you are close enough they should. you might need a signal booster too.

No, those are cable channels. It picks up local channels that are broadcasting in your area.

If you receive local channels at home. You may not get them in other startes

No. You have to move it around to see if you can get other channels. And rescan each time

After you switch to antenna, you need to scan for available channels. Your TV will keep them in it's system for antenna. You only have to do this the first time.

I have a coax going to this device which is running cable channels and I have it connected through an HDMI cable to my TV. Works fine for me.
