I have a 4 year old FHD LG TV (model 42LN5120-TC) that according the LG website appears to only have an analogue receiver in it. Up until now it has been connected where there was a satellite dish (and box) and it received digital channels. 

 

Recently moved into a new condo that has cable TV provided. Our newer TV (that it appears has a digital tuner) receives all the channels, but the LG doesn't. Would a digital converter box like this work? Somchai in the shop said of course not for cable TV, I needed to also buy a new aerial or of course "we have these TV's on sale".

 

Anyone have a solution please?

 

 

It should work...depending on the cable companies setup...from my experience with Banglamung and Tipmanee cable TV a
DVB T2 terrestrial tv box that works with an antenna/ariel also works when the digital cable signal is feed into the ariel socket...need to rescan for channels.

My thoughts too. Going to give it a try. Cheaper than buying a new TV. Will report the result for future reference.
