I'm purchasing a Panasonic plasma with a QAM tuner, so I can view Comcast HDTV without their cursed set-top box fee. The problem: the Panny doesn't have an RF (coax cable) input. The older receiver I have on that system won't pass an HDTV signal. A Google search turned up nothing. There MUST be a simple converter box with an RF cable input and component or HDMI output that will pass an HDTV signal. Help!!
convert cable in to digital/hdtv out?

Off the Panasonic web site:
TH-42PX60U
42" Diagonal Plasma HDTV with Built-In ATSC/QAM/NTSC Tuners and SD Memory Card Slot
Back panel photos on web don't show RF input. I agree, w/QAM, there should be an RF input. however, I can't find it.- Bottom

Thank you, oh wise senior member. Now, can I get to BB tomorrow early enough to snag one of the Pannys? The lbs of turkey I just ate are weighing me down and slowing me up...- Bottom

Thx for the advice. I only have Comcast's "basic" hd package, so no premium HD channels. That's one reason why the Panny seems like a good fit for me - PQ, feature set, and $$. Now, if only such a purchase can make it past the gatekeeper, i.e., wife, with all my appendages intact. She was the one that first expressed a desire for a plasma HDTV, but she has the puzzling and disconcerting notion that a new kitchen stove is a higher priority. I'm simply trying to remain true to one of Robert Heinlein's "life messages" in Time Enough for Love - Budget the luxuries first!"- Bottom
