I want HD on my new HDTV and there is only one ant/cable input thing on my TV (at least i think so). How do i connect the cable and the antenna into my TV then?

You would need an A/B switch to do it. I can tell you ahead of time the HD indoor antenna is probably going to be a headache. The antenna needs to be up on the roof with a clear shot toward the transmitter in order to get a consistently good picture. Having it indoors is an open invitation to problems.

You should get a Cable box so that the signals from cable are atleast digital but i would difinitly get an HD box. That would solve the problem because that would connect with the component connectors or an HDMI cable. Then the F jack would be free for your antenna.
PS the antennas are great I have seen many intallede in the attic and some that didn't even need one. Yes weird but I connected a TV a few weeks ago and they wanted to do split screen.
I split the cable line to send one line to the cable box and one directly into the TV(just like you should do) Then I had the TV search for channels and about 20 Digital signals were picked it. He received all the HDTV signal over the air with no antenna. The images were perfect. I guess his house acted like the antenna or something like that because I don't think the cabler system has the bandwith to send those signal along with their own. Try it you might get lucky.
Good Luck

A coaxial cable can carry HD from an antenna or provider to a sequence-ultimate-container. The RF coax output of the set-ultimate-container will continuously be SD analog (with mono audio). you could connect that on your television, yet gets in basic terms 480i video. To get HD, you'll have a container with HDMI or factor out, and connect that to the respective enter on the television.

Do you have a cable box? If so, you should be able to connect the box to the TV via component, composite, or HDMI cable. This will free the coax input to connect the antenna.
