My cable terminal was ripped out of the tv. The actual terminal was connected to a metal box which has a capacitor (so I think) inside. The capacitor itself is the broken item. Now the metal box is connected to the actually tuner via wire. Can I replace the tuner and get a new metal box (with capacitor) and connecting wire, or do I need to replace the capacitor that is broken inside the silver box? I am unsure of the specifications of that capacitor.

I personaly would replace the entire unit, the capacitor is a Ceramic "DC Blocking/Couplng" capacitor, possibly a 0.001uF cap... I should think if ya take it to any component supplier/radio repair shop or the like they would be able to give ya a replacement?

1 Find and disconnect the cable that is connected to the
ANT IN terminal on your cable box.
? This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN", "VHF IN" or
simply, "IN".
2 Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3 Connect an Antenna cable between an OUT terminal on
the splitter and the IN terminal on the cable box.
4 Connect an Antenna cable between the ANT OUT terminal
on the cable box and the B-IN terminal on the RF(A/B)
switch.
5 Connect another cable between the other OUT terminal on
the splitter and the A-IN terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6 Connect the last Antenna cable between the OUT terminal
on the RF (A/B) switch and the ANT IN (AIR/CABLE)
terminal on the back of the TV.
After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the
"A" position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the "B"
position to view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B
switch to "B", you will need to tune your TV to the cable box's
output channel, which is usually channel 3 or 4.)

Here is a picture.
I have the exact same problem..argh! The picture you took could have
been the exact same picture for my situation. Does anyone have a
picture showing the correct connection setup for the capacitor inside
the metal box housing? I accidentally ripped out the coax connector
from the back of the TV, and when i looked inside the little metal
"box", the capacitor was just laying there...i'm not sure how the
capacitor is supposed to be soldered back inside the little metal box...
