I just bought this (I haven't the slightest clue about TVs) and I assume I can watch regular cable (Verizon Fios) on this TV?

I also did not know about tvs, but i asked my brother who knows and he recommended this tv in comparison to the sony brand as just as good. And i glad i listened.

I also have ATT U-Verse and watch over HDMI and it works fine. I have the 47" though.

For me, I have ATT U-Verse. The TV it replaced had the component cables which I matched color for color to the input on the Vizio. Check with your provider, but the connection should transfer to your new tv seemlessly.

You can absolutely watch regular cable TV. Pick up some HDMI cables and you will be good to go with the clearest picture! Feel free to call Verizon for assistance with hooking up your television.

I would certainly THINK so--you SHOULD be able to watch regular cable TV on ANY modern TV as far as I know. HOWEVER, I don't use cable nor satellite at all.

We watch Comcast on this TV. You'll still need the device that controls the cable TV channels.

My brother has this setup and the picture is awesome! I believe verizon charges more for their cablecards than cablevision does. Definitely compatible and would recommend

yes. you will only get channels provided by your basic cable subscription. to take full advantage of this device you need to subscribe for internet speed through your cable provider. then you will have an abundance of options to watch.

You can hook it up but if your cable box has hdcp encryption which I'm sure it does use you will not be able to watch tv from it. You will need to get a dvi-hdmi converter to bypass that part of it.

You should as I do. The setup is pretty simple. Instructions are provided. You're device will need to be truly equipped with wi-fi capabilities. If it's a device that enables smart apps on your tv, those usually still require an ethernet connection to a modem or a device like this. But this will at least provide a remote hard wire access point in those situations.

You need to have a wireless access point on your network and have it configured correctly. The actual internet service you have doesn't have anything to do with the connectivity of this television. Check the TV's wifi specs and purchase a wireless access point (sometimes referred to as a router with a wireless radio) that is capable of transmitting a signal that is compatible with the TV's wireless card. If you are unsure how to do any of this, I'd recommend hiring someone to set it up for you.

Hi Eric, I do not know if it will work with the Verizon Fios but it's works great on my Seiki TV. This TV has a better picture than my Samsung and although it's new and Korean they've got a winner on their hands in my book.

yes, I do it all the time. I have three sets connect to Verizon Fios but it would apply to any cable service. To watch three different programs on three different sets you must have 3 cable adapters but NOT with this Wireless... this system does NOT include the transmitters so I am sending it back.

CatsAndStuff...yes, I currently have my Samsung Blu-ray player atop the unit which then has a Verizon FiOS box on top of it. No heating challenges that I can notice and no interference with the television signal. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the feedback, just to update the situation I bought a more expensive HDMI cable made by Belden, same problem no signal when using HDMI. I was going to switch the box as well but I guess this is useless. I guess all you can do is complain until verizon fios comes to my area

Yes. I use Verizon FiOS HD TV service and I have two cablecards for the dual channel capability. Please note: The signal coming from FiOS is very powerful, and in many cases too powerful for the TiVo. I had to purchase a "db attenuator" which is a small plug that goes inline with the incoming coax cable. I am using a 20db attenuator. Without the attenuator you may get signal problems/pixelation. If you go into "Messages & Settings" and click on "Diagnostics" you will see "SN Ratio" (Signal to Noise Ratio). The sweet spot for TiVo Series 3 is "31db - 32db". If it's more than that you may get choppy picture.

I haven't used this feature so cannot comment on the supported video formats I'm afraid. Sorry. I use the TV with my Verizon fios and a bluray player.

Absolutely Richard, I have a regular HD-TV and it works fine with it. The main thing you needis an internet, or WI-FI connection. Anyway, good luck with that situation, enjoy!

can you still use your tv to watch regular cable channels while the roku is connected

You can hook it up to the cable box with a standard HDMI cable; nothing special is required

I used a cable that I bought from amazon. AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable (6.5 Feet/2.0 Meters) - Supports Ethernet, 3D, and Audio Return [Newest Standard]. My internet service is FIOS from Verizon. I think the notebook that I am using is a little slow for keeping up with the TV sometimes, but otherwise these csbles do the job.

the antenna is supposed to wireless pick up the satellite's or cable box's signal. i even tried to screw in the cable directly to the antennas input, but no luck.i as well tried connecting it directly to a video game console [AV OUTPUT, AND RV...NO LUCK!] the most i was able to do with this tv is get a power signal, and discover the remote and power connect normally; but nothing else is as simple.defiantly would advise you to stay away from this tv. you will not get your moneys worth, and it will just sit on your shelf.
