I have a newer tv that was struck by lightning disabling the hdmi connection. It has an s-video connection and no coax inlet. What do I need to do?

yes the make addapters, but not all handle sound. Just search hdmi s video.

You should be able to connect the s-video and the audio-L and audio-R to your TV. Good luck.

I haven't been able to use it nwith my 8 year old Samsung TV. The connector port requires ARC capabilities, and my TV doesn't have that.

It has a coxaial input spot where the antenna goes. You could probably replace the antenna with a cable line. It doesn't have an high def port (hdmi) although it picks up high def signals through it's antenna. I bought a better antenna (Artec HDTV Flat Antenna)for this tv to improve it's reception.

I have lost 2 televisions due to lightning strikes thru my cable service and one thru the power outlet. Since then I have taken the precaution of purchasing Uninterruptible Power Supplies for my TV's, VCR's, DVD players', game systems', PC's and my surround audio system, and quality surge protectors for everything else. But I have never had a problem with lightning passing between my devices and the televisions'. However, I have heard it can happen. If the jolt/surge is strong enough it will fry the wiring. Unless you know for sure this has happened to your cable it should be fine but know that wires and cables will go bad over time because they age. If you cannot get a signal between your components, try using another cable. If this cures the problem, then you know that the cable is bad and you should toss it away. I hope this helps.

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.

No. You have an S-video option or you can use two (2) of the single yellow ended cords to make the connection. I would like to see an HDMI option too. It would also be nice if it had a kind of on/off switch instead of having to unplug it from the power each time I'm done using it.

There is a connection area, look at the back of the Tv. There should be a area where all the connections go on the side, at the bottom of that is where you put the coax, its jutted out and hidden a bit but feel around. Hope this helps

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck! OK, near a window? In the city?

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

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

I'm not sure why that would happen. Have you tried using an input other than S-video? I have never had much success with that type of input choice. Can you use HDMI or RCA?

Thank you! I figured out that my wires were too tangled. It's working with only the HDMI cable. Thanks again for taking the time.

I connected my unit to my TV's HDMI port. My TV doesn't have an I-port. I didn't use any additional cables

Sorry about this mis-remembered thing. Perhaps an s-video to component adapter would solve this.

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.
