    I dunno. :o I am not a techie person at all and haven't had the tv long.

    As far as I know the aerial plugs in the back of the tv and that's it.

    I don't have any set top box or PVR as the tv has its own tuner.

    I don't even know what an HD cable looks like...:o

    I've got an old cable (same as pictured above) that I don't need. PM me your address and I'll put it in the mail.

    Regards

    Use the standard cable that came with the playstation (3 plugs on the end) and plug them into the tv

    There isn't 3 plugs - it is only one that went into the aerial socket of the old tv.

    That is extremely kind, but I have now bought an original PS lead off Ebay (For around a fiver), but many thanks for your very kind offer.

    I will keep you posted if it works out ok, as it has been suggested I may have to adjust the screen settings on the tv to get it working ok.

    ^ You could have probably got a PS2 with all leads and a couple of games for about £20.

    Maybe, but I am not really into gaming, I just have a yearning to play my one favourite game on my new tv.
