The cable comes out of the wall to the HD converter box and the converter box connects with the HDMI or video cable to the same on the tv set. If the tv has HDMI connector use it. HDMI will give you much better picture than video cable connections.
A cable signal.
Yes! a coaxial cable can go bad. Yes! you can suddenly lose the signal from an atenna because of a bad cable. A a new coaxial cable may fix the problem as long as the damaged cable is the source of the problem. However if the signal problem is at the tap or one of the splitters in your home you will need to call your cable company to fix the problem.
Cable companies utilize satellite technology to initially get the signal, then it is distributed via underground or above ground cable.
TV signal boosters will significantly improve the picture quality of your TV if the poor quality you are currently experiencing is due to signal degradation. If the cable signal is poor from the source, a signal booster will not help.
Because you need a cable box that delivers the signal in a format compatible with your TV. Call your cable company, explain the problem, make them send you out a cable box that will work. After all, you pay for Cable TV., right ?
No you will be fine. The new cable converter boxes are for people who are using antennas (or some people call them rabbit ears) to receive a signal. These people will no longer be able to pick up this signal. If you television is able to connect to cable, it is okay.
No. The earlier TV's had analog receivers, which are not compatible with the new digital format signal. You will need a cable box or satellite receiver to convert the signal.
I personally have cable TV because satellite TV can be very unreliable, and the signal can be lost often, especially during rain storms. Cable TV, however, very rarely loses its signal.
Cable splitters, joiners, adapters and similar products will never improve signal quality.

Ownership of a TV box is necessary because it converts cable signal to digital signal in order work. It turns the signal into a visual and audio components and projects them from the TV.
