LG Plasma TV 42PT353A Fuzzy Picture no Sound

[CHAItea]

Hello,
I currently have a 42in Plasma TV that I am trying to hook up into cable antenna. I've hooked up the cable to another tv screen and it works just fine, but when hooking up to this LG TV the picture is fuzzy and there is no sound. The cable hook up is also very different in the back of the TV. The previous owner of the TV actually had an adapter from the cable to the TV because a regular US cable won't fit and it still does nothing. I have no idea about these things and my friends are stumped...

Over the air signal are supposed to be HD nowadays. Older TV need a box to convert HD toolder TV. This being a HD TV then the tunner is probably ok. You probably have a week signal in to the set. Different sets maybe more or less sensitive to signal levels. I live in the sticks. My old TV works fine over the air but my HD TV needed a amplifier in line with the antenna signal for the HD TV to work good. I finally went to Sat. Tv. The unseen device may have been a Balum transformer.
If on cable box bypass the tunner use the HD outputs of box for Better signal.

Thanks for the quick response. So I figured out what that adapter was.. It's a European Cable adapter. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan so I'm pretty sure the signals are not HD. I will see if there is anything else that i can put on here to help.
