If your cable box has a HDMI cable port, buy an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the cable box. The next best alternative is to use a S-Video cable with a pair of Audio cables. The third best alternative is to use a RF Coaxial cable. The last option is to use a composite Video and L/R Audio cables.
You should note that while the TV may be HD capable, the cable box may not support HD so you will have to upgrade your cable box to a HD compatible cable box.

∙ 15y agoI have had TWC cable and RR for many years. My TV has just broken down and I just recently purchased a 40 inch Sony Bravia HD TV! My TWC box has two wires to connect in and one wire going out to the TV! Can you explain or send me a diagram showing how to hook up my new TV? Having the two wires in and one out to the TV has many possibilities (one wire in, I believe, is for A stations and the other wire in is for B stations! ................................ Thank you for your time, HBBAUER2

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the age of the television but the method is similar for new and old televisions.
The cable box will almost certainly have both an HDMI output and a composite video output (on three RCA connectors).
If the television has an HDMI input (it will be marked as "HDMI" on the input) then connect and HMDI cable from the box to the television. Older televisions don't have HDMI so the best connection will probably be composite video with separate audio links. These are three RCA connectors normally colored yellow, red and white.
If you have both connectors, use the HDMI as it provides far better quality in standard definition and is normally the only port that supports high definition, if the cable box and television handle HD of course.

How do you hook up an HDTV to a Blu-ray and cable box?
The blu-ray instruction manual usually includes instructions for connecting the blu-ray to the HDTV, as well as how to program the blu-ray and HDTV to work together. The manuals are your best source of instruction. If the manuals are missing, you can usually download them from the manufacturer's website. The HDTV has several input connectors. Connect your cable box to one input, using a compatible cable (usually included), most often an HDMI cable these days. Connect your blu-ray HDMI output to another HDMI input on the HDTV using another HDMI cable. Then use the HDTV remote control to select the desired input source. If you want to use a blu-ray with speakers for your sound system, you must connect an HDTV audio output to a blu-ray audio input. Depending on the particular HDTV and blu-ray, you may use an audio cable with RCA connectors, or a fiber optic digital cable. If the HDTV and blu-ray both support a feature called ARC, the same HDMI video cable can also carry the digital audio signal. Refer to the manuals for setting up the HDTV and blu-ray audio.
