										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does a smart TV need a cable box or broadband? &#8230; As for the question of broadband, then the answer is <b>unequivocally yes</b>. If you want to take advantage of any connected apps and services – anything that makes the smart TV smart – you&#8217;ll need an internet connection.</p>
<p>Likewise, How do I connect my smart TV to cable?</p>
<p><b>Connect an HDMI cable to your cable</b> or satellite box&#8217;s HDMI out port, which should be located on the back. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to any of the empty HDMI ports on your Samsung TV. Note: Make sure to remember what number the port is so you can change your TV&#8217;s source to it in a moment.</p>
<p>Also, What device turns your TV into a smart TV?</p>
<p>Using <b>a Chromecast</b>. Apart from all the options, I have discussed previously; a Chromecast is an easy method to turn your TV smart. It, like most streaming sticks, connects to your TV through HDMI. You can use the device itself using the Google Home app.</p>
<p>Moreover, Can you watch regular TV on a smart TV?</p>
<p><b>Yes</b>, your smart TV will work fine without an internet connection. You will be able to watch TV channels with a cable box or antenna, connect Blu-ray/DVD players, hook up speakers, etc – just like a regular TV. You will not, however, be able to use any of the video streaming apps that come with it.</p>
<p>What are the disadvantages of a smart TV?</p>
<p><b>  Here&#8217;s why. </b> </p>
<ul>
<li>   Smart TV Security and Privacy Risks Are Real. When you consider buying any &#8220;smart&#8221; product—which is any device that has the ability to connect to the internet—security should always be a top concern. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Other TV Devices Are Superior. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Smart TVs Have Inefficient Interfaces. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Smart TV Performance Is Often Unreliable.  </li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Why won&#8217;t my cable work on my TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Cable Connections</p>
<p> One potential reason your TV will not connect to cable TV is <b>that the television does not have the proper video input</b>. &#8230; Attach the twin-lead end of the adapter to the TV&#8217;s antenna input, and the other end to the coaxial cable connected to the cable outlet or coaxial output on the set-top receiver box.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I connect my TV to cable without a box?</strong></h2>
<p>How do I connect my TV to a cable without a box? The best way of connecting the TV without a box is through <b>media streaming devices such as Roku, Google TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Chromecast</b>. You can also connect your TV using a smart TV, directly through the cable or antenna.</p>
<h2><strong>How can I turn my old TV into a smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Note that your old TV needs to have <b>an HDMI port</b> to connect to any smart Android TV boxes. Alternatively, you can also use any HDMI to AV/RCA converter in case your old TV doesn&#8217;t have an HDMI port. Also, you would need Wi-Fi connectivity at your home.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between a smart TV and a regular TV?</strong></h2>
<p>The main difference is that <b>a smart TV can access WiFi and run apps just like a smartphone where your non-smart TV can&#8217;t</b>. A smart TV can access the internet which is the main source for media content like YouTube, Netflix, etc. &#8230; Has an internet browser.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I make my regular TV a Wi-Fi TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Then, switch to that <b>HDMI</b> source (using the TV remote) and follow the set up instructions to connect to the existing Wi-Fi network in your home. Now, install the Chromecast app on your mobile device or PC/laptop and connect to the same wireless network.</p>
<h2><strong>How can I get basic cable for free?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  6 Legit Ways to Get Free Cable (And Cheap Options) </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Ways to Get Basic Cable for Free or Cheap. HDTV Antenna. Amazon Prime. Hulu. Netflix. TV.com. Free Online Viewing.  </li>
<li>   A Word About Sports Channels and Cable TV. Sling TV. FuboTV.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between smart TV and regular TV?</strong></h2>
<p>The main difference is that <b>a smart TV can access WiFi and run apps just like a smartphone where your non-smart TV can&#8217;t</b>. A smart TV can access the internet which is the main source for media content like YouTube, Netflix, etc. &#8230; Has an internet browser.</p>
<h2><strong>Is Netflix free on smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p>How to watch Netflix on your TV. If you have a smart TV from LG, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Sharp or Toshiba it is very likely that there will be an Netflix app available on the set&#8217;s respective app store. &#8230; <b>The app will be free to download and install on your connected TV</b> but you will need a subscription.</p>
<h2><strong>Which is better Samsung or LG smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Who is winning between LG and Samsung? <b>LG manufactures OLED displays</b>, which are considered to be the best in terms of color and contrast. Samsung still uses QLED technology, which can&#8217;t quite match OLED for picture quality. &#8230; Additionally, QLED is also brighter whereas OLED has better uniformity and viewing angles.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between a regular TV and a smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Android TVs have the same features as Smart TVs</b>, they can connect to the internet and many come with built-in apps, however, this is where the similarities stop. Android TVs can connect to the Google Play Store, and like Android smartphones, can download and update apps as they become live in the store.</p>
<h2><strong>What channel should TV be on for cable?</strong></h2>
<p>Most televisions will also need to be on <b>either channel 3 or 4 when</b> using a coaxial connection. If you&#8217;re using an HDMI cable, take note of which HDMI input the cord is plugged into on your television, as most televisions today have multiple HDMI inputs.</p>
<h2><strong>Why does my TV say no signal when HDMI is plugged in?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Verify that the source device has power and is turned on</b>. If the source device is connected with an HDMI® cable: Make sure the TV and source device are both turned on, then disconnect the HDMI cable from one of the devices and then connect it again. &#8230; Try a new or another known working HDMI cable.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I test my cable signal?</strong></h2>
<p>To test your coax cable signal strength for the internet, you can use <b>a digital signal meter or a multimeter</b>. Otherwise, you can check the cable signal strength on the modem. A multimeter will let you know if your cable is live and is functioning well, while a digital signal meter will give the level of deterioration.</p>
<h2><strong>Can two TVs use one cable box?</strong></h2>
<p>Normally, <b>TVs require individual cable reception boxes</b>. However, if you have a TV in two different rooms in your home, it&#8217;s possible to connect them to the same box using cable splitters.</p>
<h2><strong>Can a smart TV work without a cable box?</strong></h2>
<p><b>You can use a smart TV without cable since the devices connect to Wi-Fi networks to operate</b>. &#8230; A smart TV provides so many possibilities for viewing through streaming services, casting, and Internet browsers.</p>
<h2><strong>How can I get rid of cable and still watch TV?</strong></h2>
<p>The best option to replace your cable box directly is with <b>a live TV streaming service</b>. Each offers a package of live channels you can watch on a streaming app that, with a bit of a learning curve, works just as well as (or better than) a cable box.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I make my TV Smart for free?</strong></h2>
<p>At a very low cost — or free, if you already have the necessary cables lying around at home — you can add basic smarts to your TV. The easiest way is to use <b>an HDMI cable to connect your laptop to your TV</b>, and mirror or extend the laptop screen onto the TV this way.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I connect my non smart TV to WIFI?</strong></h2>
<p>Plug your device cable into your <b>TV&#8217;s HDMI port</b>. Plugin your USB cable into your device as well as your TV USB port. Switch on your old TV and pair the input with your device. Download the required app if you need to via internet.</p>

</ol>
<h2><strong>Is streaming cheaper than cable?</strong></h2>

To get live TV channels, you&#8217;ll need to subscribe through an old-school cable or satellite TV provider or try a live TV streaming service like fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV. <b>Streaming services generally position themselves as cheaper alternatives to cable</b>.</p>

<h2><strong>Why is cable so expensive?</strong></h2>

</ol>
<h2><strong>Is cable service a need or a want?</strong></h2>
<p>Each and every time we write back saying that cable television, or the equivalent like satellite TV or really any streaming service, <b>is a “want”</b> and not a “need”. You do not need TV like you need food, a roof over your head, medications if sick, utilities, resources for work expenses, or water.</p>
<h2><strong>What is going to replace cable TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Services like <b>Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV</b>, and YouTube TV try to replicate cable TV with lower monthly bills—but prices are rising.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you wish to watch a live TV service through your TV like Freeview or Freesat you will need a <b>coaxial cable connecting into your TV</b>. If you have a TV aerial socket plate or satellite socket a coaxial flylead will be required to connect between this and your TV.</p>
<p>Likewise, Are all coaxial cables the same?</p>
<p>There are different types of coaxial cable, which vary by gauge and impedance. Gauge refers to the cable&#8217;s thickness and is measured by the radio guide measurement or RG number. The higher the RG number, the thinner the central conductor core is.</p>
<p>Also, Do you need a HDMI cable for smart TV?</p>
<p>Full HD TVs and regular Blu-ray players will need a <b>standard HDMI 1.4 cable</b> to connect them to other devices – like your Sky box. &#8230; Tip: If you have a Smart TV that connects to the internet, you can also get an HDMI cable with built-in Ethernet – so you won&#8217;t need as many cables.</p>
<p>Moreover, Does a smart TV need a cable outlet?</p>
<p><b>Smart TVs are meant to be used without cable</b>. The freedom to choose from numerous streaming services is part of what makes these devices so great. All you need to start watching content on your smart TV without cable is a high-speed internet connection. The device must be connected to your home&#8217;s Internet to work.</p>
<p>Does length of coaxial cable affect signal?</p>
<p>When it comes to signal loss over longer cable lengths, the basic rule of thumb is that <b>a 50-foot cable can experience noticeable signal loss</b>, and a 100-foot cable can drop as much as one-third of the original signal.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 50 ohm coax for TV?</strong></h2>
<p>However, not every case warrants high power handling, so 50 Ohm Coaxial Cable <b>is not appropriate for every application</b>. &#8230; This includes devices such as Satellite and Cable TV Receiver Boxes, High Definition Televisions, AM/FM Radio Receivers and Police Scanners.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the best coaxial cable for TV?</strong></h2>
<p><b>An RG6 coaxial cable</b> is best used for connecting a TV set or set top box to a TV aerial, satellite dish or satellite receiver. It is also used for the internet and digital video. RG-6 cables are made with a different kind of shielding and have a 75-ohm impedance, making them more effective for carrying GHz signals.</p>
<h2><strong>Is HDMI cable required for HD TV?</strong></h2>
<p>While DVI only carries video, though, HDMI can carry both video and audio. So, in short, choosing an HDMI cable for <b>your HDTV is not a requirement</b>, but it does give you a higher quality than some other connection technologies when you&#8217;re viewing high-definition video.</p>
<h2><strong>Are there 2 types of HDMI cables?</strong></h2>
<p>There are several types of HDMI cable, each designed to support a video resolution and features in the HDMI specification. HDMI connectors are available in three sizes: <b>standard, mini and micro</b>. There are also different types of HDMI cable (see the chart below).</p>
<h2><strong>Which Ethernet cable for smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p>To Connect Your TV Over Ethernet</p>
<p> I recommend using a <b>fulling wired Ethernet cable</b> for best possible speed. You can purchase leads that will only have four cables, or two pairs terminated and these will only support 100MB Ethernet at best.</p>
<h2><strong>What device turns your TV into a smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Using <b>a Chromecast</b>. Apart from all the options, I have discussed previously; a Chromecast is an easy method to turn your TV smart. It, like most streaming sticks, connects to your TV through HDMI. You can use the device itself using the Google Home app.</p>
<h2><strong>What are the disadvantages of a smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  Here&#8217;s why. </b> </p>
<ul>
<li>   Smart TV Security and Privacy Risks Are Real. When you consider buying any &#8220;smart&#8221; product—which is any device that has the ability to connect to the internet—security should always be a top concern. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Other TV Devices Are Superior. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Smart TVs Have Inefficient Interfaces. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Smart TV Performance Is Often Unreliable.  </li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>How do I get cable channels without a box?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  Alternatives to the Cable Box </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Instead of having boxes for all your TVs, you can opt to keep the cable on your main TV and consider using an antenna to receive programming on one more of your additional TVs. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   If any of your TVs is a Smart TV, you can access movies and TV shows via internet streaming.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>How far can you run coax cable for TV?</strong></h2>
<p>As for the distance it all depends on how you run your cable. Without an amplifier then anywhere <b>between 45-100m</b> depending on the installation and cable used. Coaxial cable can be cabled over longer distances than twisted-pair cable.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the maximum distance for coaxial cable?</strong></h2>
<p>Coaxial cable can be cabled over longer distances than twisted-pair cable. For example, Ethernet can run approximately 100 meters (328 feet) using twisted-pair cabling. Using coaxial cable increases this distance to <b>500m (1640.4 feet)</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Does coax length affect SWR?</strong></h2>
<p>Coaxial Cable <b>Length Does Not Change Antenna SWR</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Which is better 50 ohm or 75 ohm?</strong></h2>
<p>Impedance is how cables are measured. It refers to the amount of resistance compared to the flow of electrical energy. <b>A 50-Ohm cable will provide a better result than a 75-Ohm cable</b>. This means that you will achieve better performance from your installs with a lesser Ohm &#8220;number&#8221;.</p>
<h2><strong>Is RG-6 50 ohm or 75 ohm?</strong></h2>
<p>So a <b>50 Ohm</b> cable provides much better results than a 75 Ohm cable. Most home cell phone signal boosters come in 75 Ohm systems with 75 Ohm cables such as RG-6 with F-connectors. Most commercial cell phone signal boosters come in 50 Ohm systems with 50 Ohm cables such as LMR400 with N-connectors.</p>
<h2><strong>How far can I run coax for TV?</strong></h2>
<p>If it is RJ6 you should easily be able to get usable signal <b>up to 150 feet</b>. If it is RJ59 the high frequencies lose signal more quickly so the max length is about half that of rj6.</p>
<h2><strong>Should I use RG6 or RG11?</strong></h2>
<p><b>RG11</b>, because of its bigger size and better handling of attenuation, is superior when it comes to preserving signal quality than RG6. It&#8217;s also able to work at much higher frequencies than RG6 due to it having less signal loss. &#8230; RG6 is the more familiar standard, particularly when it comes to satellite cables.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between 50 ohm and 75 ohm coax cable?</strong></h2>
<p>In short, cables are measured by impedance, how much resistance there is to the flow of electrical energy. The smaller the Ohm, the better the performance. So <b>a 50 Ohm cable provides much better results than a 75 Ohm cable</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Do I need a special coax cable for HD?</strong></h2>
<p>Types of Coaxial Cables</p>
<p> RG59 has the thinnest copper conductor. This means that it is best suited for low bandwidth applications such as CCTV analog video feeds. Since high definition television broadcasts require significantly more bandwidth, you should opt for <b>RG6 or RG11 coaxial cables</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>When should you use a HDMI cable?</strong></h2>
<p>You should use HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable <b>when the components you intend to connect are HDMI compatible</b> &#8211; that is, they both have HDMI jacks &#8211; and you want the highest quality digital video and/or audio connection.</p>
<h2><strong>Will my TV work without an HDMI cable?</strong></h2>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s your TV, your receiver, or both devices that don&#8217;t have HDMI connections available, you can <b>use an RCA cable and/</b>or a converter to connect the two. You&#8217;re never more than a few cables away from getting the sound off your Television and into your sound system.</p>
<h2><strong>Is HDMI different to HDTV?</strong></h2>
<p>HDMI is a standard for a cable that carries picture and sound to and from the various devices that make up a modern multimedia (audio/video) system. So, HDTV is the box you watch. HDMI is the cable that delivers the picture and sound to the box. The other answer is, in <b>broad strokes</b>, technically correct.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today&#8217;s tvs have an <b>RF input</b>, usually referred to as Cable. They will have multiple HDMI inputs, usually labeled HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, etc. And they will have several video inputs and are labeled differently among the different brands of tvs, but will usually be called, video 1, or comp 1 or a/v1, etc.</p>
<p>Likewise, How do I connect my TV to cable without a box?</p>
<p>How do I connect my TV to a cable without a box? The best way of connecting the TV without a box is through <b>media streaming devices such as Roku, Google TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Chromecast</b>. You can also connect your TV using a smart TV, directly through the cable or antenna.</p>
<p>Also, What input should TV be on for cable?</p>
<p>Most televisions will also need to be on either <b>channel 3 or 4</b> when using a coaxial connection. If you&#8217;re using an HDMI cable, take note of which HDMI input the cord is plugged into on your television, as most televisions today have multiple HDMI inputs.</p>
<p>Moreover, Is there a difference between HDMI 1 and HDMI 2?</p>
<p><b>HDMI 1.4</b> versus HDMI 2.0</p>
<p> In a nutshell, HDMI 2.0 is designed to handle more bandwidth than HDMI 1.4. Both can deliver 4K video, but HDMI 2.0 can transfer up to 18Gbps whereas HDMI 1.4 can only transfer up to 10.2Gbps.</p>
<p>Is TV an input or output?</p>
<p>The input device in this picture is the remote control. You press &#8216;play&#8217;, the DVD player processes the information and a film <b>is output on</b> the TV.</p>
<h2><strong>Can two TVs use one cable box?</strong></h2>
<p>Normally, <b>TVs require individual cable reception boxes</b>. However, if you have a TV in two different rooms in your home, it&#8217;s possible to connect them to the same box using cable splitters.</p>
<h2><strong>Do smart TVs need cable?</strong></h2>
<p>Does a smart TV need a cable box or broadband? &#8230; As for the question of broadband, then the answer is <b>unequivocally yes</b>. If you want to take advantage of any connected apps and services – anything that makes the smart TV smart – you&#8217;ll need an internet connection.</p>
<h2><strong>Can a smart TV work without a cable box?</strong></h2>
<p><b>You can use a smart TV without cable since the devices connect to Wi-Fi networks to operate</b>. &#8230; A smart TV provides so many possibilities for viewing through streaming services, casting, and Internet browsers.</p>
<h2><strong>Why won&#8217;t my cable connect to my TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Cable Connections</p>
<p> One potential reason your TV will not connect to cable TV is <b>that the television does not have the proper video input</b>. &#8230; Attach the twin-lead end of the adapter to the TV&#8217;s antenna input, and the other end to the coaxial cable connected to the cable outlet or coaxial output on the set-top receiver box.</p>
<h2><strong>Why is my cable not connecting to my TV?</strong></h2>
<p>It is possible that your DVR or cable box <b>may have malfunctioned and requires a power cycle</b>. On the device itself hold the power button for ten seconds to shut it off. It it continues to not turn off, you can unplug the power cord from the power outlet for 15 seconds then plug back in and wait 30 seconds.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I set my TV to HDMI input?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Switch to the HDMI source on your TV</b>.</p>
<p> Use the SOURCE or INPUT button on your TV or remote to select the HDMI port. You&#8217;ll usually have to press it a few times until you reach the right port number. Once you reach the correct source, you should see the device&#8217;s image on the screen.</p>
<h2><strong>Are there 2 types of HDMI cables?</strong></h2>
<p>There are several types of HDMI cable, each designed to support a video resolution and features in the HDMI specification. HDMI connectors are available in three sizes: <b>standard, mini and micro</b>. There are also different types of HDMI cable (see the chart below).</p>
<h2><strong>Can you use a HDMI 2.1 cable on 2.0 port?</strong></h2>
<p>Version 2.1 of the HDMI Specification is backward compatible with earlier versions of the Specification and is <b>available to all HDMI 2.0 Adopters</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Is DisplayPort faster than HDMI?</strong></h2>
<p>Although you&#8217;ll find more devices that support HDMI than DisplayPort, in this context the answer to the question, &#8216;<b>is DisplayPort better than HDMI</b>,&#8217; is an emphatic, yes. HDMI 2.0 supports a maximum bandwidth of 18 Gbps, which is enough to handle 4K resolution at up to 60Hz, or 1080p at up to 240Hz.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the RF input on a TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Radio Frequency (RF), also known as coaxial, include the VHF/UHF, CABLE, and AUX jacks. These input terminals <b>carry video and audio signals</b> and are used for connecting an indoor/outdoor antenna or cable for cable TV service.</p>
<h2><strong>Do TVs have HDMI output?</strong></h2>
<p><b>No TV has HDMI outputs</b>. The most common TV audio output is digital optical audio. If the stereo has this kind of input then that will work find. If the stereo has analog RCA inputs then the TV would need analog audio out or headphone out to connect directly to the stereo.</p>
<h2><strong>Do I need a cable box for every TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Although <b>a digital cable box is not required for each TV</b> in your home, only TVs that are connected to a digital cable box will be able to receive channels above 99 and use the interactive programming guide.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you run two TVs off one box?</strong></h2>
<p>Using additional boxes, you <b>can get the same channels on all TVs in your home</b>. You may avail up to five additional set-top boxes and catch your favorite channels in your bedroom, living room, or wherever you are. Using these extra boxes, you can have the same channels that are part of your Virgin TV subscription.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I stream to multiple TVs?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  Using a Chromecast to Multiple TVs </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Get a Chromecast.  </li>
<li>   Add or install the Chromecast extension.  </li>
<li>   Go to the top right corner of the control panel and locate the 2 boxes or cast buttons. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Open the content you would like to cast.  </li>
<li>   Choose the television you would like to cast to, or where you want the content to be displayed.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>What device turns your TV into a smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p>Using <b>a Chromecast</b>. Apart from all the options, I have discussed previously; a Chromecast is an easy method to turn your TV smart. It, like most streaming sticks, connects to your TV through HDMI. You can use the device itself using the Google Home app.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you watch regular TV on a smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Yes</b>, your smart TV will work fine without an internet connection. You will be able to watch TV channels with a cable box or antenna, connect Blu-ray/DVD players, hook up speakers, etc – just like a regular TV. You will not, however, be able to use any of the video streaming apps that come with it.</p>
<h2><strong>What are the disadvantages of a smart TV?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  Here&#8217;s why. </b> </p>
<ul>
<li>   Smart TV Security and Privacy Risks Are Real. When you consider buying any &#8220;smart&#8221; product—which is any device that has the ability to connect to the internet—security should always be a top concern. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Other TV Devices Are Superior. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Smart TVs Have Inefficient Interfaces. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Smart TV Performance Is Often Unreliable.  </li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>How do I connect my Smart TV to cable?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Connect an HDMI cable</b> to your cable or satellite box&#8217;s HDMI out port, which should be located on the back. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to any of the empty HDMI ports on your Samsung TV. Note: Make sure to remember what number the port is so you can change your TV&#8217;s source to it in a moment.</p>
<h2><strong>Why my TV won&#8217;t recognize my computer?</strong></h2>
<p>On the computer, <b>select a lower screen resolution</b>, then check if the image is output correctly. When the TV has another HDMI port, connect to it and check if the image is displayed correctly. &#8230; If changing the cable solves the problem, the original HDMI cable may have a problem.</p>
<h2><strong>What do I do when my TV says no signal?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  Reset the box </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Turn everything off at the wall.  </li>
<li>   Check that all cables are securely and firmly in place.  </li>
<li>   Wait for 60 seconds.  </li>
<li>   Plug your TV box (not the television set) in and turn it on.  </li>
<li>   Wait another 60 seconds, or until the lights on the TV box have stopped flashing.  </li>
<li>   Plug everything else back in and turn it all back on.  </li>
</ol>
