Hello everyone,
I was attempting to move my TV by myself, and I forgot to unplug the cable from the back. To make a long story short, I pulled the cable outlet from the back of the tv. It pulled completely out. So, now there is no where to hook the cable into the back of my tv. My tv has the red, yellow, and white outlets, but not the composition ones or whatever. My tv is only about 1.5 years old, but it is not worth the $80 to just have someone look at it. Does anyone know what I can do?

The red, yellow, and white jacks are RCA connectors that you can use to connect your TV to an external TV tuner.
Most people would just get an old VCR and use its tuner. (you just need the electronic part; the tape part doesn't even have to work)
You just hook your cable coax into the "antenna in"* on the VCR and hook composite cables from the VCR outputs to the TV.
Composite cables are color coded; Yellow is video, the other two are audio.
Most VCR & DVD players come with composite cables, but if you don't have a set, they are cheap at places like Walmart.
* may be labled "ant in", "RF in", "ANT/CABLE in", or "UHF/VHF in"

As long as you did not short anything out, use the red-yellow-white connections. If you have to get an adaptor, Radio Shack probably has one.
