I recently bought a new flat screen tv that I hooked up directly to
the cable line coming into the house( no cable box). The sound quality
was crummy so I returned it and went with a different manufacturer and
still the sound quality is bad...sounds like its coming from an empty
can, that is, it sounds hollow. I am wondering if its because I don,t
have a cable box. I tried to tweak the bass and treble but it still
sounds hollow, for lack of a better word. Anyone else have a similar
problem?

Thanks, CJ
Quite possibly a defect in the TV itself, and unrelated to the cable box
or other source. What leads you to believe that the TV itself has good
sound which is somehow being degraded by the cable input? Most likely it
is exactly the opposite situation, good cable signal audio and a TV with
hollow sound.
