    Do you have cable hook up?

    In other words, have you paid to receive cable?

    Okay, another stupid question.

    Do you have a cable outlet in your room?

    Go to setup on the TV menu, you should be able to switch from there, unless you have an older TV.

    Is there a "setup" section under the menu section?

    What type of TV do you have?
