It is quite simple to identify whether or not your TV has the capabilities of receiving cable signal. You must check whether your TV supports more than 13 channels in order to ensure that it is cable TV compatible. Some TVs have up to 22 channels but at lower signal strength, for these TVs you must ensure that the total number of available channels is above 22.

When checking the compatibility of your TV with the cable TV signal, you need to find out whether or not it has a transformer attached to its backside which will allow you to connect the cable directly instead of using an antenna. There is nothing to worry in case you find that your TV doesn’t have the required transformer. You can always buy one separately and have it installed.

Step 2

Hook up the cable TV box with the TV along with the coaxial cable that has been provided to you. Remember that if you have rented the cable TV box from your local cable TV service provider, they are supposed to provide you with the coaxial cable also. In case you have bought the cable TV box yourself, it might or might not come along with a packaged coaxial cable. You can easily buy a coaxial cable at your nearest supermarket in case your cable TV box package didn’t come with one.

Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the output socket of your cable TV box and connect the other end of the cable to the input socket on the transformer on the backside of the television. Ensure that the connections are rightly done and that there are no lose connections.

Now that you have got your cable TV and cable TV box connected, you can check out your cable internet options on www.cablenet.net.
