Does this tv hook up to satellite systems that are not high definition.

When we first purchased this tv, it was to replace a very old Magnavox Console TV. At the time, we had Direct TV - with no HD service because the Magnavox did not have that capability. This set worked great without the HD Service. Later we changed from Direct TV to Dish, with HD Service; however, all channels are not available in that format. So, we are still watching non-HD channels and HD channels with this set - and both work fine with great picture.

If you mean without some sort of digital box from your cable provider, yes. That's how I'm using it and I'm getting a few of the HD channels without benefit of a box. I don't know if this amplifier works with satellite, but I would doubt it.

Yes it does, however, it is an old school unit - RCA hookups (red, white, yellow plug in connections). It is not an HD unit nor does it have HDMI hookups.

No. It just has a cable tv type F connector. If you connect an antenna to it and can receive local hd broadcasts, then you can see HD. Also, some cable systems have a "raw" digital HD feed that does not require a cable set top box, but will play HD thru the F connector.

Yes indeed. There are hdmi for cable satellite tv and it also comes with a remote. Pretty good deal for what you pay for

No. The unit only has s-video and red white, audio and yellow video RCA output. You need a RF converter to put connect to your tv.

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.

I can't say for sure. Keep in mind that most Satellite TV is wired in house via coax.

Yes it will hook up using RCA jacks or with an HDMI cable. I have it hooked to my standard TV with the supplied RCA cable.

A late response but thought I'd chime in. The up-conversion can help with standard def satellite but little difference with HD channels. One of the best benefits of systems offering up-conversion besides better picture quality is that it will take the non-HDMI inputs and send them out the HDMI output. It is very awkward running audio from a device to the receiver and the video to the TV and having to switch inputs on the receiver and the TV.

Unfortunately I've never had satellite TV service so I'm unfamiliar with the hook-ups. I can tell you that the TV has both a standard co-ax and an HDMI input. We have regular cable so I have the co-ax hooked up, and I often hook our Roku device to the HDMI and binge-watch Netflix while using the treadmill. It's awesome!

I haven't bought the TV yet but according to the Sharp website it does. It says it has this as one of the connections: Antenna: 1 (Down) F-type. That should be the type that is used with like satellite tv or antenna.

YES. I have this TV and it does pick up the Digital Television Channels via the antenna. It does a heck of a job pulling in channels from the antenna, HDTV programming via antenna, as well as cable channels without the need for a cable box.

You do not connect directly from Satellite dish to TV, you run RG6 Coaxial cable from Sat LNB to receiver then you connect receiver to TV for best quality use HDMI cable.

No. The satellite speakers connect to the sub woofer by wires.The sub woofer connects to the television by optical wire.
