Analog reception on a LCD TV?

Hi. I just picked 32" Sharp Aquos and everything plays clear (Tivo, DVD, Xbox) except for my analog cable. Does anyone know why this is and if there is a way to get it clearer? Thanks in advance

I can only tell you what I have seen, and I have never need a good picture on an LCD TV from a regular cable signal.

I don't know about that size, but on my 21" LCD the pic is great on regular cable. Sometimes cheap coax really does cause a problem, as does a crappy cable install where they've split it off so many times it's been weakened.

What is your Tivo playing if its not cable? Just wondering why this would look better than cable.

Maybe he has a separate cable going to his TV and to his TiVo. If that's the case, more than likely the Tivo has a better tuner and possible even acts as a better "antenna". Most of you probably noticed back in the VCR days if you connected your cable to it, you would get a better reception than just going to your TV.
