However, the Mediasonic tuner includes the required cable and Karen's
TV supports it. It might be easier to set the TV signal source to the
proper video input than making sure it's set to channel 3 or 4 to
match the tuner setting.

The remote for the TV has the source select button at the top left
corner. You just have to press this button followed by the "1" button,
which is directly below, to select video in 1.

It should be better than coax, since it doesn't have to have the RF
carrier removed.
