Can I easily connect this TV to cable? We have Comcast Cable.

Yes, it connects easily if you have the Comcast connector cable and power box.

Mine is connected to Comcast via a small digital converter box (provided by Comcast). In this instance, the digital converter box connects to the tv via a standard cable television cable (you screw it into the back of the tv to the appropriate socket). But, you could also connect it via a Comcast HD box via an HDMI cable to take best advantage of its HD capabilities. It has a single HDMI slot in the back of the tv. I have several other Samsung HD LED tv's connected to Comcast via the Comcast HD box and they work beautifully with HD cable.

You must have a cable box to use this tv. A router would not work either . This is a transmit and receive System. It must have a video input for the transmitter.

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.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. I hook the television up to my cable service provider and it works great!

You just connect it directly to the tv. Using the optical cable works best if your tv has that capability

Depending on what hookups your tv has, it's possible with some cables from radio shack. I did it

Thanks for your question. Yes, a coax cable can be connected to this TV. This is a fantastic TV. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Sony dealer.

Yes, easily done via an HDMI connection. Other methods are more complicated to answer concisely.

No, it is easy to connect the TV using a hdmi cable and then plug into the electric outlet. The setup for use is done online at the roku website. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I cannot be more helpful. This television was a gift to my parents. My experience with my own set is that you can so long as you have the correct cables and compatible equipment.

I'm pretty sure you could...we connected to our t.v. Great feature! Sound quality was excellent. There are many features found on much more expensive machines.

It's quick, and I don't think it's as much the TV as what you are putting into it. For instance, I'm running Comcast, Windows Media Center, X-Box, and one other input. These all come into one HDMI input through a KeyDigital switch. I watch Cable on all of the able inputs, and have to say sometimes the Comcast box lags a bit when switching from SD to HD, but other than that it's okay. Long and short of it, I've got several different options for channel watching and they're all smoking fast! If you are plugging Cable directly into the TV, then you may have a different experience...not sure if many providers allow this anymore due to encryption.

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.

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

Not sure of the question, but since it is normally used with live TV, I would do.Comcast ---hdmi---> gtv ----hdmi---> TVIf you want it available for all, you could get a HDMI switcher and do(All HDMI devices)----hdmi---> switcher ---hdmi---> gtv ----hdmi---->. TV
