As said you would need a Cable tuner of some kind for those, for which any old VCR will do nicely.
Ah, I see. No it doesn't have any cable/antenna switch it's just got coax jack for vhf and the 2 screw terminals for UHF. Cable comes in beautifuly with this TV. I just wish the cable system here in the US would have used the same frequencies used for both VHF and UHF. I guess no one would have built the cable box if this was the case.
