    Broken cable hook up
    Did not unhook cable when I went to move the TV, I riped the cable hookup right out of the TV. Is there a way to run tha cable TV with out that hookup? I have a vcr and dvd to use

    It probably has to be soldered back. It depends on how much damage you did. I've seen it happen before. For tight instalations consider using push on connectors and you won't have that problem again. The push on's just attach to the standard F connector.

    Does the TV have other inputs, such as ''S'' video or phono jacks for video and sound? If so, you may be able to connect the cable to the VCR and then the VCR to the other input. Otherwise, you may have to repair the old connection. If it has a cable going from the damaged connection on into the TV, you may be able to put an end on it.
