I am helping my mom get a small HDTV. The one I am looking at (Samsung 19 in) has HDMI and component, but she will use cable....they don't use set top cable boxes here.

There is an input for antenna in....will this work for cable...or is this for an airways antenna?

Samsung doesn't mention it in their manuf info...but you can it in the pics.

thanks...

    Must tv tuners can see both OTA and Cable channels. You're fine if a digital HDTV signal is had by cable you got HDTV.
