Screw that attaches to cable or antenna is loose and neither cable or antenna work without tv screen going in-and-out.

Their should be a coax cable attached to the antenna that screws on to the threaded coax tuner input on the back of the TV... It will probably be the only threaded cable attachment point. If another tip on the cable look for the antenna in jack on the back of the TV. The rest will be HDMI or RCA inputs. After connecting the cable you will need to run the tuner setup scan on the TV from the setup function to scan for usable TV programs...

If you don't have the male end on the tv itself, go to radio shack, best buy, etc and pick up an adapter. One end has two prongs that screw to the back of the tv where you would attach the prongs of 'rabbit ears' antenna. The other end of the adapter has the male end that screws into the cable.

If your TV has the screw-on coaxial cable connection on the back, then you will not need a converter box. You can attach an internal or external antenna and have your TV scan for digital channels. The converter boxes are mostly for old CRT TVs with analog tuners or newer home theater "monitor" TVs which are being produced without built in tuners.

With Direct TV, you should use the video input (composite video- yellow/picture, red/right stereo, white/left stereo)
OR
component video- (green/video, blue/video,red/video white/left channel stereo, red/right channel stereo)

the antenna connector should never be used anymore unless connecting an outdoor antenna or VCR.

if one of your input connectors is damaged, it is not likely that is will be repaired without replacing the entire circuit board (expensive!!!).
just use a different "input"- there are usually at least 3 on most TV's

Hi. There must be a place to attach an antenna if not a cable connection. look for two screws close to one another on the rear of the set. At radio shack or walmart get an adapter that allows you to attach to the two screws and then has the screw on part to attach the cable.

Regarding the stripe, you may have to take the tv into a shop and have a component replaced in order to get rid of that. If you take it into a shop you will save the house call charge. Call around and get the best price before you take the tv in. J.

The antenna, will more than likely, come with a feed cable with a screw type F connector that you attach to the antenna connector on your Phillips TV. Pretty simple! Most antenna's will come with complete installation instructions.

If you are using an antenna or regular cable without a cable box, put the tv on an analog channel. Go into the menu. Select the middle icon at the top of the screen. Go down to the TV/CABLE line. Select either TV (for antenna) or CABLE (for regular cable) on the right. Go down to AUTO CH MEMORY and press the volume+ (right arrow) button. Wait for the channel search screen to clear. Check all of your channels using the channel up button until you come back to the channel you started on.

You will have to go to Radio Shack or Wall Mart, maybe Home Depot and get a matching transformer. That will have spade terminals on one end to connect to your tv and a round (75ohm male thread) to hook to your converter box.

All you need is a cheap adapter ...you can find at radio sgack...just tell them what you told me and they will fix you up!
this should fix your problem

have cable attached to the TV. But, I lost my remote so I cannot change the TV setting from "antenna" to "cable." There is no menu selection on the TV itself. Is there any way to do this?
