Yes that is correct. The best work around is to get a set-top box, connect one of the co-ax cables to the box and hook it up to the sharp using RCA cable(Yellow, White, Red cable). The box should cost you about 20-30$ so it should not be much of a problem. You can get it from your cable operator.
The set-top box is the only way to boost the signal. There is nothing in the menus that can help you do this. I hate to say this but Sharp is one of those stay away if you can brands!Believe me if there was something in the service menu that can do the trick I would tell you.
AS I stated , your advice did not help, The signal was very strong I had to switch from AIr to Cable Please credit back the $15 dollars
Thak you

Good day!!
OK please try to go to the menu using button on your TV...after that find the auto scan mode...
please complete the 100% scan for better results...
if the problem persist try to play DVD or any recorded TV show to determine if the problem is on the signal or on the TV itself (the tuner is weak)..
I hope this solution will be helpful...
Thanks for using fixya..
normally that problem is cause of bad TV tuner that is the parts that responsible for the TV reception process if it is bad or weak your TV is not getting channels or clear channels..
OK please try to reset first the coaxial connectors and try to touch it and move it gently on your TV..you can move it from left to right while the TV is power ON..
and try to see if there is any changes from the reception..
if there's any changes for good...you have a loose connection on the connector of coaxial cable or on the tuner itself please try to re-solder it

The TV works well , I have a bell signal going through it w teh ability to see multiple channels/DVD. Its when I switch to Coaxial Cable there is no signal, I do not have remote the only buttons I can get to are volume/channel/ inputs ,
The cable coaxial ( that definately works on my other Samsumg TVs on the same cable signa.l)
I assume by plugging in Cable coxial signal and going to TV input that the auto scan would do just that, Auto scan, , I am getting just fuzzy picture. Why would the bell signal work/dvd signal work , but not TV?
Is there any way to boost signal strenghth? Is there somethin in MENUS ( that I csan't get at without remote) that is causing this problem, ? IT doesn't make sense that I can get bell signal, dvd signal, but no coaxial signal ) please advise
I am getting very clear channels, 100's of them , on the Bell signal, not on the Cable signal
snd the CAble signal is very strong So what you are saying is you have no answer/solution ,
Correct?
no change to reception, (when I plug the same connection into another TV the signal /reception comes on instantly- so that is NOT the problem , it has to do w set up within the sharp, I am off to Rogers store to see if htey have a solution
Thanks for trying , but I am sorry , You did not fix or address my problem, Instead I went to
Futureshop where I was given the proper solutions. buy a remote to access the menu to change from AIR to CABLE , and then set channel search, This was accomplishe by helpdesk at Future shop, PLease refund my $15 , to ensure I uae your service again.
Please debit my Credit Card
back the $15 , and send me a confirmation , I know you tried , but you were unsuccessful . thanks
