When I moved, the cable company set up my TV, so I don't know what the technician did. It was an old CRT set and it's connected to the cable box with a coax cable (it doesn't have an HDMI port). A friend gave me a more modern flat panel TV which has a remote, but no manual. I've been trying to find out if I just need the HDMI cable, or does the coax also have to be connected? My remote is probably programmed to respond to the CRT TV and I don't know how to change it. I tried looking for info online, but the instructions are conflicting and confusing. The cable company could probably do it again, but they charge a fee if it isn't a problem with their service. Please help an old lady. Any other advice about this would be appreciated.

Old TV - Panasonic CT-27Sf11S
Newer TV - Emerson LC320EM1F
Cable box - Cisco 4742HDC
Remote - Spectrum UR3-SR3S

According to my google search, looks you only need a new HDMI cable, from Cisco 4742HDC to Emerson LC320EM1F.

Cisco 4742HDC, it has a HDMI output (back view, port#8, HD To TV Yes)

Emerson LC320EM1F has three HDMI inputs
