Off-topic Re: Engineering question:

Sure it's "cable ready"? Might check to make sure you are using the cable input (if there) and/or that there's not a switch that needs to specify cable.

Something that works with any set, unless your cable co scrambles non-premium channels (most don't), is to attach a cheap cable converter to the set. Most bring in up to 60 channels. Usually about $25, and can be found at Home Depot, etc. If it doesn't work you can take it back. :) Also can use an old cable-ready VCR (even one with broken tape section) to do the same thing. TV stays set to 3, tuning done with box/VCR. Doesn't pick up scrambled channels.

From your e-mail, we may be in the same area. If you have Media General with two cable feed, you'll need to swap cables or get a switch box for channels 1-60 or 60-120.
