I will say 'yes', but that answer includes the assumption that you have 1) any needed cable box to decode any cable signals, and 2) you don't have any access to the internet so as to subscribe to any 'free' streaming TV services. This TV DOES have a standard conventional tuner in it, so if your cable service carries conventional TV on all the varying frequencies equal to broadcast TV, then 'yes', it will work! BUT, if your cable TV requires a decoder box, then you will need that box as well. As these decoder boxes are proprietary to their providers (IE Verizon, Comcast, etc), NO TV has included any ability to substitute internal tuner capability to emulate Cable Box tuning. This is why most of today's providers send a signal that can only be decoded by their set-top box! These boxes then 'output' on a conventional broadcast band, like channel 3 or 4 from the old 'Antenna' days. But, there are some cable services out there in some areas that carry all the broadcast bands on their service without the need for a set top box. You just put this TV in 'learn' mode while on 'cable' input, and it will find any and all channels available, remember them, and allow you to just 'tune' to them with the conventional tuner.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
