I have a analog tv. Verizon discontinued analog tv. Can I get a picture using the DTX9950 & cable connection & no set top box?,

I guess that it shouldn't be a problem. You should get a box where you can return it for free just to try.

you need a digital set top converter box it converts ATSC signals TO NTSC analog sinal so your tv can use it you can get a picture if you get digital cable THAT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE A CABLE BOX TOO FLAT SCREEN PANEL TVS HAVE atsc tuners built in i hope that helps

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

All newer flat screen televisions are capable of receiving Air, Cable, HDMI, ColorStreamHD, Video and PC. For basic cable channels you don't need a converter or interface with the cable company. You use their box to view non basic channels, get a channel menu, pay channels or as a digital recorder to play something back a a later date. A digital over the air antenna has nothing to do with cable. If you are using their converter box for HDMI, you can also hook up a digital antenna for local stations and switch back and forth from cable to antenna. But you don't need that antenna for cable nor will the antenna replace cable, They are two different things. I hope this helps. Have a great day!

Are you sure you have an analog TV? Please double check. I don't think you need a converter box for this particular TV. If you don't have cable, get an old school antenna.

It has been a while since I had Directv, however l understand it uses HDMI output. If the set top box has optical audio out, simply connect to the optical in on the 5500. The 5500 has no "digital" input. If the set top has no optical out, you will need a Samsung TV with "Anynet" connectivity. From that an HDMI cable will run to the 5500, where audio and video will run both directions. Good luck.

I'm unsure of the problem since I currently have digital cable connected to this tv. You should try calling your digital cable provider.

I received the system today and connected the E-370 with HDMI cable to the back of my Bravia HDTV. I have another HDMI cable connecting my verizon box to the back of my HDTV. Unfortunately I have picture under one input and sound under another input. Please let me know what I need to do to correct the problem. Do I need a Digital Audio Optical Cable to connect the Verizon box to the E-370?

I'm moderately free from doubt that this product is no longer supported by Boxee, as it was acquired by. Samsung earlier this year. If everything still functions, you will getter same channels that you receive over the air on this box that you would if you were to attach a digital antenna. If you can't get the channels you are looking for over the air, you ate going to need a cable/ satellite subscription to watch those channels.

What are you trying to accomplished? Convert analog to digital, or digital to analog. In any case that cable will not work... because none of the ends have a conversion to change pix from analog to digital or vice verse.

In response to Charles' question regarding an HD set-top box, you can rent Comcast's HD box and it will work fine. You do not have to use a proprietary set-top box. You can also buy a box but the quality and reliability will depend on the brand, for which you should do some additional research, since I'm not an expert in this filed. But, before you spend additional money on either, get the set, hook it up, select your settings and see if you really need HD reception. I know that some disagree but I believe that this set offers HD quality in an SD mode.

The only way I know to retrieve the data is thru an active connection.I used mine with DirectTV but since Direct TV did an upgrade mine is just a paperweight and yours might be too.

Short answer. No. Without the digital box you wouldn't get a picture. This antenna is for the uhf range. I'm using it for digital broadcast stations. I thought all tv channels are now broadcast as digital only?

Ok, there is another kind of digital cable connection you can use if your tv has that... Otherwise, the unit should come with a rca y connection where you connect a red and white to your tv and the other end is one black rca cable that goes into the back of the unit on the far left side. If you do not have a rca Y connector than try to connect either the red or the white wire only to the back of the unit where it says analog in.. That means the unit only has a mono rca connection on the far left side of the unit where it says analog in.

You get the card from your cable company instead of a set-top box, and then plug it directly into the TV. However, what I've found is that there are restrictions that don't make CableCards that attractive (at least for now). For example, I have Comcast, and if you use a CableCard for their service you can't get On-Demand programming, any Pay-Per-View stuff, or their graphical program guide. To me, not being able to get this stuff kind of defeats the purpose of having digital cable nowadays.

The analog Co-axil port on my TV is not broken...the TV works just fine. I currently have an antenna and just need to boost the signal. The signal boost I purchased does not work, but is receiving power from the outlet, but the booster itself does not work. I know this because I tested the power cord send with the amplifier with a mutlimeter. I would prefer to have another amplifier sent, not an antenna and I do not want to convert to HDMI because my TV has no available HDMI ports left.

It does not appear to support any type of digital cable. Samsung has made some models in the past with CableCard slots for digital cable, but this one doesn't have that feature, as far as I can find.

If I recall correctly, DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are only available when connecting via HDMI, is that what you are using?Edit: Saw your later post. I believe you will need to contact your cable company to obtain a digital cable box in order to obtain HD audio. Without this, the option is not available to you. Make sure it has an HDMI output (most digital boxes do nowadays but some cable companies are still behind the times.) You can get an outside box but you'll still need a cable card most likely in order for your service to be connected. Most cable companies have them as they rent them out for a $2-$10 fee to Tivo users. Again, this is dependent on how monopolistic your cable company is so ask them first.

If I recall correctly, several years ago, my entire area went from analog reception to digital. It might have been an FCC decision. You can contact Sharp or your local cable or satellite provider and ask them. It's a very nice TV. We've had it for several years with no problems -- good luck.
