YES, it does not have a HDMI port. However it has a COAX cable connector, and you can connect it to Cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The HDMI ports on the LG 50” Class UA7000 Series LED AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025) Model # 50UA7000PUB, are HDCP 2.2-compliant ports. HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a copy prevention technology that’s been used on HDMI connections for over ten years. Version 2.2 is the latest, designed specifically to prevent illegal copying of 4K Ultra HD content. Like earlier versions, HDCP 2.2 creates a secure connection between a source and display via a “digital handshake.”. When you encounter the "HDMI not permitted" error while watching cable programming on your TV, it typically indicates that you may be using Non-HDCP-compliant HDMI cables. Ensure you are using a cable that supports HDCP. Cheap cables may not have the necessary chips to handle HDCP signals. Another probable cause may be due to a faulty HDMI port: Check the HDMI port on both the TV and the cable for any visible damage or debris. Try other HDMI ports on the TV to see if the port that you are currently connected to is faulty. Long HDMI cables can degrade the signal quality. Use shorter cables or a signal booster if necessary. We recommend using a certified cable with the HDMI logo attached. If you do not use a certified HDMI cable, the screen may not display, or a connection error may occur. The recommended length for an HDMI cable is 3 m (9.84 feet) or less, or an Ultra High Speed HDMI®/™ cable. If one device or cable isn't HDCP compliant, you get an HDCP error. This is true for cable boxes, the Roku Streaming Stick, audio-video receivers, and other modern high-def devices or players that interface with those devices. If the TV is connected to the Astound router via its Ethernet port, you can try power cycling the TV and your router to resolve HDCP handshake errors. This process involves turning off and then turning on the TV and your router, which can reset connections and clear any temporary glitches that may be causing the HDCP error. Power cycling is a common troubleshooting step for various TV issues, including HDCP errors. Turn all of the devices off, unplug them from the power source, wait for a few minutes, and then reconnect them...^Ivan.
