Ready to order this. I assume it has a cable-TV coax hookup? And does it work with digital cable?

Yes, it has a coax cable hookup. I've mine hooked to basic cable in the kitchen. It's not hooked to a digital box as basic is supplied throughout our condo complex, but there's no reason not to hook it to a digital box.

Many thanks. Very helpful. I have researched this carefully and think it's the best for what I'm looking for.

did the coaxial cable work when you did it? I called Sharp and the didn't have cables and said it wasn't coaxial. It does look like a regular RCA plug and if that is the case, then I'll just go by a coaxial cable.

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.

It has the standard male coax connector, so unless your set does not have the coax input, it will connect to just about any TV. I bought it for receiving digital signals so I don't know how well it performs for non-digital signals. I live in a metro area where there are many stations and it was not a problem for me receiving channels.In fact, I bought another one in case I might buy another HDTV in the future.

Yes, there is a coax connection on the side. A co-worker of mine had one in the office yesterday. It's a sharp little televison.

Per Owners Manual - has coax antenna input. Audio coax digital output is a separate thing.

Ok..so it's not digital capable, but if I have cable tv coming into my home already, won't I still be ok to use this device?

you hook it up to the audio out on the tv, it should work normally, it does not have anything to do with the signal from cable or satellite.

Short answer is "yes". This device neither inputs nor outputs digital -- you'll need an analog output (rca stereo and video) from your cable box to input to it, and it has an analog output for your TV.

It works on a digital t.v. look for hook up jacks on your t.v. or cable box

I don't know what you really mean cable ready. This is a smart TV. It has a RJ45 input for Internet or for wireless dongle. There are inputs for cable tv and other equipments.

Fepends on where the signal comes from. If your coming from a digital cable box, like I am, the it should work with no issues.

No. It has composite outputs and a coax output. This is a pretty basic player. It's meant to output to HDMI or Comp (RYW). Works very well with HDMI but if your digital TV doesn't have HDMI capability the composite output should take care of you. I'm quite happy with the purchase.

Digital cable will not work. If your cable provider offers analog cable (that does not require a box), this should work fine. Just make sure that in the settings you tell it to look for "Cable" not "Air". Many cable companies no longer offer this service.
