I assume I need a HD cablebox, but do I need to purchase a high speed cable or is it included?. Thank you.

I first connected with an rf cable, then switched to a $3 3-ft long HDMI cable. MIGHT have seen a minor improvement in picture on hi-def channels, but not enough to worry about. NO cable connectors are included

You commented that you were using comcast basic package, which is probably analog. We have Insight in our area and they have a separate digital package, called digital 3.2, which sends a digital signal that would be far superior. You can purchase HD packages within that set-up.

Hi Ron, You can use any high speed hdmi cable for this TV but it will depend on the input source where the TV gets the signal. - Jerome

To answer my own question - I purchased a media bridge HDMI Cable off Amazon & it worked just fine. Now with that being said, I actually never needed to buy this cable. The H FS100 is a flash drive - I purchased a Transcend card w/ a USB Reader & if you have a DVD or Blu Ray Player w/ USB slots - your good to go. FYI - I was going to purchase a Blu Ray player, but it was better to go w/ a Sony PS3. Not only is it a Blu Ray Player, but it has 2 USB Slots, plays video games & you can surf the Web with it. Hopes this help someone else!

I bought this tv for my son last Christman & then got one for myself about a month ago. If you are a Time Warner customer you need the cable box to get the HD tier. Yes, it would be nice if we didn't need that, wouldn't it?

The cables need to be attached source to destination. No extensions or network equipment should be used and if you can, keep the cables as short as possible. Some of my more distant TV's will only use 720P video.

It is a high speed router but it is not a cable or dsl modem. You should use this router along with your current modem.

It's what the other person said about it connecting to the antenna outlet. I'm not sure why it doesn't need a HDMI cable for the HD, but it definitely is still HD and a quality picture.

You will need a M -card. It replaces your cable box for unscrambling the cable signal. You need to get it from your cable company.

Here's the deal; Check your current cable plan, if it is a 'basic' plan (5mbps-35mbps), you really don't need to upgrade unless the thing craps out on you. If your current plan has higher speeds (35mbps-100mbps), you still don't need to upgrade (your internet will still work), but you will be wasting money on the premium cable plan as DOCSIS 2.0 tops out at about 36mbps. Speaking from experience, I've had this model of modem since 2008 (its 2014) and it's still working well. I do plan on upgrading to a new modem once I upgrade to a plan that will use its full potential.

You will see the best the LNA40550 has to offer if you upgrade your cable box to HD.It's the difference between looking thru frosted glass

You need the cable to get your cable box connected to your TV for the best picture quality if you subscribe to High Definition channels. A regular cable can also be used to connect your TV to your cable provider. You can use the HDMI to connect other things like a DVD player or Video Games consoles. Hope this helps!

You will need an hdmi cable or a component video cable. Most cable providers supply these at no cost.
