Cable TV connections
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV
Converter box. Some cable companies offer "premium pay channels" where the signal is scrambled.
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is
generally provided by the Cable TV company.
