I presume from your question that you are in a cable area and dont have a roof antenna. What you need is a VHF to UHF converter.

Most sets in the UK were sold with a UHF tuner only - although I thought that had changed in recent years. The only problem you might find is that the converter wont allow the full cable band width to be processed.

Llike tinky said unless the tv is old you should be ok, hook it up and try tuning it in before buying anything, if it doesn't work you are probably better buying a vcr and tuning the channels through that, a vhf-uhf convertor would cost as much as a cheap vcr and the picture they produce is often not great.

Peats.ie have VHF Converters but they start at €77, which as John R said, is the price of a cheap VCR. I would agree with him regarding a VCR being a much better option than the Televerter.
