it does have a RF coaxial in the back but I dont have any form of cable or antenna so I dont know about the tuner. it is a great projector for the price. the only bad part is there is know info on the company that makes it. not in or on the box, projector or instructions.

I've got the same question as Jonathan -- does this DVRRecorder pick up cable channels? will it get the 500s-700s? If so, I'm ready to buy! :-DI don't get decent reception antenna only so I have to use cable, much as I hate shelling out to Comcast every month I'm stuck with them. ;-p I've been resisting TIVO b/c I don't want to pay an additional monthly subscription fee. Why would anyone pay monthly for Tivo if you can do the same thing for free with a DVDRecorder like this one?

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.

Sorry, I have no experience in this area, but I am sure if you are parked and within 20-30 miles of an urban area, I am sure your TV will search and register the local channels. Any adjustments can be made by merely moving the small antenna one way or another.

Make sure you have it on the right setting. Press menu then go to channel search. Look for service type. Mine was on "air" and I had it connected to the cable. Once I switched it to "cable", it searched fine. If you are using an antenna, make sure the antenna setting is on. Good Luck, it is definitely low quality.

No, it doesn't have a normal tuner. It only gets over the air channels. I live 15 miles south of Dallas and I only get NBC and PBS consistently. Fox & ABC sometimes and never get CBS. There are some Spanish channels also, but I only know of Telemundo - sorry, I don't watch them so I can't list any of the others. There are no cable channels at all.

No. It picks up only local channels in your area. Has a "search" that will auto select any / all in your area. But no, no proper cable channels.

I had to use a directional antenna to get my local channels. I live 15 miles from the TV tower. I never used this TV on cable.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

I only have broadcast tv, no cable.....I'm sure it would decode regular cable, just not premium channels

It is somewhat, however, you will have to tweak it to find all the channels you want. There are a few weak stations that can only be received when I turn the antenna toward their towers. It is a balancing act to be able to pick up all the stations I want without having to move the antenna. Mine is in my attic.

Thanks for the quick response. I am still getting 2 different answers. It sounds like if you hook it up before the Cable Box or TV that you can do both.

Not properly. I tried hooking it up and it will pick up channels but they do not register like the time warner channels. They have their own numbering system of some kind and would make it very difficult to find the channel you are looking for.

Hello, I'm not well versed in radio wave frequencies (uhf/vhf). I can tell you I get all the network channels 2-5-7-9 etc. and other non cable channels. It's enough for me.

Don't stop your cable or satellite subscription until after you have successfully tried this alternative. Others have answered the basic process of doing the channel search on antenna and/or cable. Good luck.
