Getting Locals on my Sony HDTV w/digital tuner

Is it possible to get my locals using nothing more than a coax from the FIOS stb to my Snony HDTV's digital tuner? I am a subscriber to the Extreme HD. My TV does not have a cable card. Thanks

Sure is... I use a splitter for the coax on each of my 3 TV's with DVRs. That way I can watch a local channel and still record two others. The TV must have the QAM demodulator (aka tuner) to receive cable channels. Once connected, you will need to do a channel scan on the TV. Make sure to select Cable for the scan, not antenna. Some TV's do a better job with the channel scan than others, so don't give up if your first attempt isn't successful. One of mine, a Panasonic LCD,  required a very special, non-documented, procedure to get it to work properly. I believe someone posted here that the locals are in the channel 70-76 area. Of course, they would be mapped to the lower (like the on-air) channels after the scan. Good luck.

  • Can not get MacBook Pro to display on Sony HDTV LCD

    So I bought a DVI to RGB (Y/Pb/Pr) cable. I have it hooked up and use Detects Displays. It detects a VGA connection but it will not show a picture on the TV. I have verified I am on the right input on the display and checked all just in case. I can't use DVI to HDMI because the TV only has one HDMI and it is being used by my cable signal. There is another input that is labeled RGB in the Sony manual but I can not find a DVI to RGB that looks like the plug configuration on the back of the TV. I would like to stay away from S-video and everything else because they do not support HD. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you tried a DVI-VGA (D-SUB) cable? It does actually support any resolution supported by both the display and the computer (including HD). This will deliver the same signal as your analog component RGB cable. I use this with my SONY HDTV every day, works very well.

  • FCP7 2 apple cinema displays & 1 sony HDTV issues

    Hello, I am having issues with connecting my 3rd montior which is a SONY HDTV.  I am able to connect all 3 montiors and they all work fine as far as the workspace goes, but one thing I was used to when editing using a SONY DSR-11 was having the 3rd montior, in this case the Sony monitor, as the video ouput monitor, you know, to be able to see what I was editing rather than what I do now wich is drag the canvas window to the SONY monitor and enlarging it.  It's kind of annoying to be honest.  Anyway, anyone out there experience the same issue?  I have an ATI Readeon 5770 card which has the two mini dislay ports for the 2 apple cinema displays and the DVI to HDMI port on the card.  Also, I am able to view the cut on one of the apple cinema displays (i don't want this as i want it on the SONY display) when i hit view>external video>all frames and then for video playback the only options I getr is the apple displays AND its the wrong aspect ratio when i play it but when i pause, it goes back to the aspect ratio i shot it in.   ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

    Turn OFF [√] Mirror Displays
    Then you get something like this:
    The screens are connected along an edge of your choosing to make one large "Extended desktop". For your sanity, you arrange then in the same way (by dragging the blue boxes that represnt each display) to the same order they are in on your bench.
    The mouse moves freely across the divide between screens, and it can carry a window with it. The little white bar is the menuBar, and it can be moved as well.
    If you move a window onto another screen, it can be re-sized to fill almost the entire screen. If you split a window across displays, it scrolls and updates "the right way".

  • Have Sony HDTV bought in 2003;the video in/out thingy doesn't fit the apple tv prong.  What can I buy and where to modify so I can plug in Apple HDMI cable?

    I have a 2002 Sony HDTV "ready" tv and am trying to hook up Apple TV2.  On the back of the tv, the connection point where the HDMI cable goes in does not match the Apple connection HDMI cable.  I'm guessing that I need some sort of connector that goes into the tv at one end and that will accept the Apple tv 30-pin HDMI cable  Is there such a thing?  What's it called and where can I buy it?  Thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV specifications state clearly that a TV with HDMI connection is required. DVI is not necessarily going to work as a number of people have found out, although many others have been able to get it to work.
    A DVI cable may perform the same function as an HDMI cable for passing video signals but the hardware cards that it plugs into at each end may not.

  • Choosing between 720p and 1080p on Mini connected to Sony HDTV (1920x1080)

    I have a late 2009 Mac Mini and a SONY HDTV and had no difficulties at all in hooking them up. I just connected the Mini Display Port to DVI connector which ships with the MAC Mini to a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable (also available from Apple Store) and connected the HDMI to my TV. I switched on the TV, selected the correct HDMI input, then switched on the Mac Mini and could see the picture immediately. I was missing the menu bar at the top so went to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and then DISPLAYS and the OPTIONS tab, and unselected OVERSCAN, and that gave me a perfect picture (slightly smaller than full screen but perfectly adequate as far as I'm concerned).
    By default my resoluton was set at 1080p (presumably the Mac detected that the native resolution of my TV is 1080p). The DISPLAYS box shows a number of resolution with a little TV screen icon beside them, as if suggesting those resolutions for use with the Sony. It shows 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. There are also lots of others without TV icons beside them.
    The only problem I found is that 1080p made it quite difficult to read text on my screen, even though it's not very far away from the sofa. My eyesight is very good but I couldn't read the screen comfortably when surfing the net or even when changing settings etc. I swiiched, therefore, to 720p and this produces a very comfortable size of text for using the MAC.
    My question is whether it really makes such a big difference whether one chooses 720p or 1080p, as I really can't see much difference for playback of video from Hulu or other streaming websites. Even when I played a DVD movie from the Mac Mini superdrive, the difference in quality was hard to detect. I guess if I tried viewing Full 1080p HD material, there would be some difference, but how much of such material is available on the net anyway? I take it that switching between 720p and 1080p wouldn't cause any harm, if I chose to do so occasionally for watching any Full HD movies that I rip?
    Look forward to hearing views!

    Hi- I also picked up a mini a week ago, and have it hooked up to my Sony HDTV via HDMI, just as you. The same thing happened the first time I connected the mini to my tv- with overscan on, the top and bottom of the screen were cut off.
    The solution is to pick up your Sony remote, go to the onscreen menus, and make sure that 'full pixels' option is selected. When you do, the screen will be absolutely perfectly aligned.
    I mention this because while in overscan mode, I find that the Sony makes an absolutely beautiful screen, and text is quite easy to read, albeit a bit small.

    How to get record control in sony ericsson p1i....
    does jsr234 helps??

    I'm not sure it is possible to get the PL/SQL record type through JDBC. Please try to access this procedure through JDBC to see if it is possible.
    You may need to convert the record type, to an object-type, i.e. wrap the procedure in another procedure that converts the record type. You could also just wrap the procedure in another that expands the record values into individual output parameters.

  • How can I see the entire screen on my Sony HDTV?

    The top and bottom of the display is cut off when viewing the screen on my Sony HDTV using DVI output with mirroring on.  I've tried changing my display resolutions for the Sony from my Mac display preferences as well as changing the display format on the Sony side to no avail.

    Does your TV remote have "Picture Display, Picture Size" or something to that effect?"

    I recently had a kernel panic in which I think my hard drive only had so much space left after I ran a bunch of drivers I thought I needed. I uninstalled all and moved files. For some odd reason I'm not getting sound of of my hdtv/monitor.HELP? I uninstalled all the drives and apps I download. I moived files either to trash if not needed, and others to other external drives. I went into disk utility and did a repair disk permission and verify disk. Clean out junk files. Now my hdtv/monitor does not give me any sound, nor does my mac mini. Can someone please tell me what to do?

    What drivers?

    Hello, since nobdy else has replied...
    Long shot, but...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

    What HDMI cable do I need for my MacBook (2009) to my SONY HDTV? I thought the HDMI cable from my Apple TV would work, but it doesn't.

    The model 7,1 is actually the Mid 2010 MacBook and is the only MacBook with a Mini DisplayPort that sends audio along with the video, Here's some Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with audio adapters from Amazon.

  • IBook G4 and Sony HDTV

    I'm trying to connect a Sony HDTV KDL-32XBR6 to my iBook G4 1,33 GHz via the mini VGA adapter and a VGA Male to Male cable. I'm also running Screen Spanning Doctor 0.3.3 to expand the iBook G4's display capabilities. But the Sony TV doesn't show anything at the PC input (VGA port). It says unsupported signal. I've tried other resolutions (all the recomended in the TV manual), even mirroring and nothing works. So I decided to try with my B&W G3 wich has a ATI RADEON 7000 and got the same results. The only way I could see something was using the S-Video output from the RADEON and plugging to the Sony's S-Video input with limited resolutions and at 4:3 aspect ratio. Is it the TV or the male cable?
    Thanks for any ideas

    It was a bad VGA cable. I replaced it with one that comes with filters and it works perfectly.

  • Playing Mac Book Videos on My Sony HDTV

    I've been doing some research on this subject and I thought I would ask some of you here on the forum. I have a new Sony HDTV capable of 480p/720p/1080i and a brand new Mac Book. I want to know what the best method of playing videos from my Mac Book hard drive onto my HDTV is. My set has has component and HDMI inputs. Thanks!

    I could be wrong, but I believe one of the differences in DVI v HDMI is that DVI does not carry audio, so you may want to verify that you may need another cable, or not.
