Does this product also pick up cable or over-the-air TV signals? Can one download such programs and play them here?

No, it is just a tablet. One can only see a video from streaming internet source.

I look at TV on mine. I downloaded the app for my cable company and I watch whatever is on my TV on my tablet.

YES. I have this TV and it does pick up the Digital Television Channels via the antenna. It does a heck of a job pulling in channels from the antenna, HDTV programming via antenna, as well as cable channels without the need for a cable box.

Nope. This isn't for a cable service. Use it with an antenna to recieve over the air digital broadcasts which would eliminate the cable service.

No, but if you have a computer plugged up to play on your TV you can use it. May someone else has more to say on this matter.

I'm not aware of an Over The Air (OTA) antenna that uses USB, so I don't think USB is going to help you. As good as these TV's are, yet impossible to find, I'd shop around the TV/electronics repair shops in the area & see who will fix it for the most reasonable price. Since it's a coaxial cable input in question, you could check w/ your local cable companies & see what they'd charge to fix it.

It has a digital tuner, so you can hook this directly to an antenna and pick up local over the air HD channels

You cannot access digital cable stations with these homemade solutions. You will only access standard non encrypted cable and over the air broadcasts. You could possibly receive over the air HD broadcasts provided you purchased the right cards. However, by the time you buy the 3 video processing cards that would equal the dual tuners (and one for play back), you are looking at several hundred dollards already. The you have to factor in the rest of the computer, the harddrive space, etc.

I don't know. I do not have cable and can only get local stations. My son-in-law hooked it up for me.

Wish there was some legal device out there that could pick up cable channels; It works on broadcast channels in your area only. I get ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, 3 PBS channels and two more that are a bit fuzzy at times. Happy with the channels I can watch, not a tv addict.

Yes, it will work on Cable or off the air, I have Suddenlink cable and I can get the free local channels as well as the standard cable channels.

it has both a digital and an analog tuner. You should have no problems providing the channels are in the clear. IE - not scrambled. I have two of these units (500G, 1T) and they work famously w/ Time-Warner. Only wish they would accept cable cards.

I don't have cable either. However, while I too am a techno dunce, I can only tell you it works on my TV which has a master antenna. Even though I don't need it, I still use the box that I got for digital use only because I like that it gives me more info regarding each channel. The set up seemed the same as it was with my old (not flat) screen.

Yes, it does. It has a built-in digital and analog tuning. It picks up channels if you have a digital HD/Analog antenna or a cable box.

No.....but you do have to make sure your cable cord to your PC is not all tangled up (Ceton mentioning this on one of their pamphlet inside the product's box), so it can receive all of your tuners and information.

If your asking about t.v.? Then yes, I am using this device to record cable t.v. programming. If your asking about radio? Then no, it does not receive radio signals.

yes, it can pick up the digital channels (NBC, CBS, ABC) over the air with the included antenna in my area in PA. The big question is can your computer handle it? On my Dell Inspiron it freezes up badly. The Dell Dimension is a bit better but not great. Analog channels come through fine but we are on limited time for the analogs.

You can hook it up but if your cable box has hdcp encryption which I'm sure it does use you will not be able to watch tv from it. You will need to get a dvi-hdmi converter to bypass that part of it.
