Can I watch local channels on my HDTV?

Why can't I watch HD Channels on my HDTV?

  • I have a Vizio JV50P 50" Plasma HDTV and my cable provider is Time Warner Cable. I go to there HD channels but the screen just stays black. It shows no signal but I can still hear the sound that comes out of the channel. Do I need to change the settings on my TV or do I need some sort of cable to plug my cable box to the TV?

  • Answer:

    You probably did not subscribe to them. I wonder what and HD channel would look like on an HD TV, lol.

If you have any splitters in the cable line, remove them and check to see if the channel comes in. Plug the cable into component inputs on the TV. This is what I had to do. If this doesn't work, call the cable company. They are on call on weekends.

You probably need a hi-def cable box. I know with my provider you have to have a different box to get those channels, regardless of your TV.

Did you forgot to plug in the video cable from the provider's box to your HDTV? Check the video cable to make sure it is not broken and is plugged into the TV.

Go to the settings menu and change the resolution to 1080i.

You probably don't have the actual program from your cable provider.

You probably need HD cables, or a converter box, or you need to change settings on your TV.

My cable company charges additional for HD boardcast, so yours might be the same.

You have to contact your cable provider and ask them for HD channels.
