Coaxial Input? Are there really TVs produced without an input for an antenna, and is this one of them?

I had the same question. The photos on Amazon and Samsung websites do not show the back side so a person can see the inputs. Nor does it list it in the specs. I did find the same model TV locally on display. I turned it around and YES, it does have the ANT (antenna) coax/cable input.

I would be very interested in a work around for this as well... would you be able to add a "combining splitter" (?) that would channel both a uhf antenna and a separate vhf antenna coax cables into single coax cable to the TV or Digital tuner?... that's the only thing I could think of, but I have no idea if it would work...

No external FM antenna input, but the attached wire antenna works pretty well. BTW I see that others say it does have an external antenna input so I double checked my manual. All it says is to fully unwind the wire to improve reception and don't hook the wire to an outside antenna. Only inputs are 1 Coax for TV antenna or cable and an AM loop antenna input.

Hi, MaryAnn - yes that's why we bought it. Now we don't need the little converter box we had been using to grab the antenna signals. The antenna wire (coax from the antenna) goes straight into the Magnavox unit, and then you connect the Magnavox directly to your TV. Works great!

Is there a reason that you don't want to use the coaxial input on the TV? The signal from the TV station transmitter is in HDTV format.(1080 DPI) Unless it a monitor TV, then you will have to get a DVT to HDMI converter.

Clump is right. This TV, as with most other current ones, has a coaxial input. That's an interesting question because most non-HD cable boxes, including digital ones, have coax in/out connectors anyway - input from the wall and output to the TV.As a side note, what I like to do before I even think about making a major purchase like this is to go to the manufacturer website and download the user manual for the model, which is usually in .pdf (Adobe Reader) form. Just about all of my questions have been answered just by reviewing the manual first. Time consuming, yes, but it beats having to wait for answers on forums that are not guaranteed to be correct.

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

It connects directly to your coax cable input. I didn't see a need for HDMI input. The picture it receives from local stations are super clear and crisp. With this antenna, you either get a picture (of great quality) or no picture at all, depending on signal strength. This is a great product. I only had trouble with one local channel not receiving (CBS). Other than that, picture and sound on received channels is superb. You can plug this into your TV using the coaxial input, then patch your television sound output to your receiver input. That's the way I do it.

Tom - what is your question? If it's a matter of wiring more than one TV to the antenna,, you need a coax splitter. Hope this helps...

u will get ur local unscrambled channels,i have two of these and love them it will take a while to go thru the channels and set them up. No coax port on a tv? whats next? looks like u will have to rent a box maybe that was the plan all along by not adding a coax port. would like to know what brand it is if u dont mind.Or is this a monitor/display u are using?

Hi,There is no direct support to connect the coaxial input. However you can use this convertor to convert coaxial input to A/V output (cable is supplied with projector). http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26%23153%3B+-+RF+Modulator/2635031.p?id=1218343206935&skuId;=2635031

I used a long coaxial cable that I had left over from a previous cable installation. The cable is NOT included with the antenna.

There are no such inputs. The only inputs are for a coaxial cable, FM tuner and power cord.

It is a digital TV and has a digital tuner built in. You do not need a converter box. An antenna can be connected directly via a coaxial cable.

No. You can screw the coax into the back of the tv, just like any other television set.

It does not take input from coaxial cable. I am not sure if it has PCIe slot but I doubt that you can find a tv tuner that fits this compact design you'd have to get an external usb tuner. it comes with 2GB of memory, if you want TV tuner you must upgrade the memory otherwise performance will be bad. I installed 8GB and it is working fine even though in the specs it says it supports only 4GB.

I run two TVs off of my antenna and I am not using a pre-amp. It works fine for both TVs. However, I can't answer your in-house coaxial system question.
