my friend has a tv with no av tuner so he cant plug in the cable cord to watch cable in his room...how or what can he do to get cable in his room... he has a 27" olevia tv
Buy or rent a cable box from his cable company. My HD cable box is $12CAD per month, roughly $10USD. If I remember correctly, the standard definition box was $4CAD.
If he doesn't have HD, then he can just buy a used VCR somewhere cheap ($10-$20) and use that as a cable box. If he wants HD, he needs a cable box from his cable company or an antenna for over the air programming.
Strange, only heard of HD-Ready tvs without digital HD tuners, but a TV that's TV-Ready? How can that be a tv since if it didn't have it's own regular tv tuner then it would have no need for channel controls on the front, it would become no more than a PC monitor with speakers. It hardly would need a remote except for volume and menu controls.
