I have all my cable channels coming through my wall in my apartment complex. If I connect my coax into this will it convert the channels into HD?

No. This piece of hardware converts an OPTICAL digital signal to an ANALOG voltage signal. It does not convert SD resolution to HD resolution.

Joann, the receiving unit must be plugged into your TV using the two audio and one video jacks (red and white for audio and yellow for video). If your "standard tv" only has the coax input (the one used to screw in the cable or antenna wire) then this will not work without also purchasing a converter. If your TV has the red, white and yellow input jacks, this will work.

Yes it will. It is bi-directional so it has return to the headend of your cable company. But if your getting a real bad signal to begin with no. I would try the 123 first. Change out your coax make sure it's RG6. Try looking at the levels on your modem most cable modems you can view from 192.168.100.1 If you have low power levels and high S/N levels it will help you out but just remember it only boost what it receives noise in noise out. Try your coax make sure the F connectors or nice and tight and look down in them if you see green you have water that has made it in you coax. Hope this helps. Yes it will.

Yes, you can have mutilate cables running through the wall. I have two HDMI cables and a coax cable for the antenna. Just follow the instructions and you should be fine. I ordered this for my in laws so i can hang their television as well. Hope this helps.

Yes, if you connect the coax to the coax in port the box will use the HDMI out port to broadcast the signal

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.

This item takes the component signals that come out of your cable box or DVD player and formats them for HDMI. The signal on your coax is is a combination of everything and can't be directly converted to an HDMI signal. It needs to go through the cable box to isolate the signals for the particular channel that you want to watch. Hope that helps.

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!

You will see the best the LNA40550 has to offer if you upgrade your cable box to HD.It's the difference between looking thru frosted glass

NO. This unit ONLY works with ATSC over the air digital channels. It will not work with cable TV signals at all.

YES. You need the Slimline Type to Receive HD Channels unless you don't want these type channels.

Yes this will TV has a coax cable plug. It can also receive HDMI input and air antennae input. One of the best little sets around. I have it one year and it has been totally trouble-free.

Is your tv HD? With out this converter you are not able to receive all HD Channels from directv check the back of your cable box if you have one then you do need it
570360
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.

it depends on how many local hd channels you have in your area. I was able to get around 10 or so local channels. once the hd signal locks into the converter, the channels show up automatically.

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

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.
