New TVs cables

lauy · 5 Sep 2016 at 12:16

Not sure if I'm being stupid but basically I have bought a new TV UE55KU6400 for a new place, and also signed up for BT TV.

Does the TV and BT TV (the youview box) come with the TV cables? (I mean the coaxial cables that connect the box and tv to the satellite dish)

Or do I need to purchase these myself?

Thanks :rolleyes:

Yeah thats what I mean, but do I need a cable that connects the BT TV to the aerial socket? Or is it provided?

We bought my dad a Panasonic freeview recorder box which came with an aerial cable. Also I remember getting one when I bought a DVD recorder many years ago, so I would expect any Youview box to come with an aerial cable.

To get all the Freeview channels available in your area, you'll need a working rooftop TV aerial with the right cabling to plug into the YouView box.

That reads to me as you'll need your own Coax cable.

Does a samsung tv (UE55KU6400) come with one or no?

Thanks

No, you'll need to get one.
