It connects directly to your coax cable input. I didn't see a need for HDMI input. The picture it receives from local stations are super clear and crisp. With this antenna, you either get a picture (of great quality) or no picture at all, depending on signal strength. This is a great product. I only had trouble with one local channel not receiving (CBS). Other than that, picture and sound on received channels is superb. You can plug this into your TV using the coaxial input, then patch your television sound output to your receiver input. That's the way I do it.

Yes, it has a special hollow base that allows for 90 degree cables to work. It comes with coax 90 but not an hdmi.

No, I don't think so. The one end of the cable has HDMI plug. The other is C2G connector which has like 5 to 7 pins. It is DIN connector not a coaxial connector.

the TV works with coax cable but requires some sort of converter to get a digital signal - preferraly an HD signal. Without a great signal you will not get a great picture. A mediocre/poor signal may look worse when it is expanded to a 65" screen

You will not find ANY cable that does that... coax and hdmi use two completely different electrical signals and number of conductors. You'll need an external tuner now.

Yes, there is a coaxial connection for cable (as well as many other connection options).

I don't know about conecting to a cable box, but the quality of the picture was not very good. Since it back and got a BenQ, it was great.

Clump is right. This TV, as with most other current ones, has a coaxial input. That's an interesting question because most non-HD cable boxes, including digital ones, have coax in/out connectors anyway - input from the wall and output to the TV.As a side note, what I like to do before I even think about making a major purchase like this is to go to the manufacturer website and download the user manual for the model, which is usually in .pdf (Adobe Reader) form. Just about all of my questions have been answered just by reviewing the manual first. Time consuming, yes, but it beats having to wait for answers on forums that are not guaranteed to be correct.

Yes it will. The manual shows how it can be hooked up in different situations, either with coax cable or with an HDMI cable (if using an HD Cable box). Of course, if your cable company requires the use of a cable box, this TV will need one just like any other.

pretty much, it has connections for hdmi, component, (red green blue)and composite, (red white yellow). no coax

There is a normal coax cable connection. One setup issue I remember is that you have to set the input during initial setup.

I used the HDMI for output to the TV. I believe you can use coax as well, but if you are HD capable I would go with the HDMI cable.

No the connection is not a coax cable. I know it says it is, but the description is wrong. There is no way other than a switcher to go from coax to hdmi.

You will not have any trouble hooking up the TV but unless the cable box is HD and you are subscribing to HD channels you will not see those channels in HD. The TV supports HDMI and component inputs for HD and coax and component in for standard definition. Good luck! This is a great TV!

No you cannot. It is just a radio that transmits the single hdmi output signal from your cable box. It cannot transmit the multiple signals from your coaxial.

The TV has all the standard inputs. So connecting to cable should not be a problem.
