I can no longer afford cable prices so I went to walmart and bought a converter box I have a flat screen in bedroom then and oldersony in living room is it possible to have them both using one box because the cost was around $75.00 with antenna for the one hook up?
If neither TV has a digital TV tuner, you will only be able to watch one channel on both TVs with one converter box. You will also need some sort of RF repeater if you want the person in the second room to change the station without moving the box. You will need a splitter/amplifier connected to the converter box TV out. (I'll assume you are using the coax out.) If you will only watch one TV at a time, then use an A/B switch on the converter box TV out.
If one of the TVs has a digital tuner, put the splitter/amplifier between the antenna and the converter box and the TV with the digital tuner.
Note: amplifier/splitters and switches do fail. If you get a "no signal" message, take out the splitter and connect the converter box directly to the antenna or one of the TVs depending on your set up.
I hope this helps.

(I use an A/B switch between the antenna and the TV and converter box for feeding an old VCR/DVD recorder.)
SOURCE: NO SOUND ON NEW TV
What kind of Connection do you have coming from the Dish receiver to Your New Sony Bravia TV. This is very important information.

SOURCE: CABLE JACK NEEDED
You can try using an rf modulator to convert the coax signal into one that you connect to the tv using RCA jacks. I believe that model has one source on it for AV. Most stores carry these and they are relatively inexpensive.

(duh)
I will post this answer just in case anyone else out there has this problem.
Press the button on the remote that says AV. The blue screen saying "no signal" disappears and you can watch videos without a server or antenna connection.
SOURCE: unable to receive local channels
According to the manual for the 42LC2D it should be able to receive local channels through a normal analogue antenna connected to the anntenna/cable coax input connector. You can get the manual here http://us.lge.com/download/product/file/1000001586/60PC1D-UE.pdf
SOURCE: Philips flat tv. Can't get it to hook up to dish
I should be channel 3 or 4. This assumes that this coax cable is coming out as a TV R.F. connection of a Dish Network Box (Satellite Receiver) intended for direct connection to an old fashioned NTSC (channels 2-13, 14-83, possibly even has cable channels depending on how old?) TV.
If this coax is the output of a coax going directly to the Satellite Dish or through what might might look to you like some kind of fancy splitter (called a Multi-Switch) the you WOULD NOT want to hook that to your old NTSC tv. The frequency is too high ... etc. etc... you would need Dish Box (as you call it) a.k.a. a Satellite receiver - with a good and active satellite card from your provider.
