Hooking up regular cable to HDtv?

I'm researching a replacement bedroom TV for my family and will finally be switching to an HDtv set, largely to be used for DVDs and PS3ing, with a bit of regular TV watching. The one hiccup that occurred to me is that we have regular analog cable programming (and have no desire to switch to digital cable any time soon) where the cable runs right into our current TVs (ie, there's no cable box), and I'm worried that an HDtv won't have the right jack for the cable's coaxial plug.

It seems like all the TVs I'm researching mention inputs for HDMI, DVI, component, etc. but no mention of coax capability. Are there HDtvs with analog capabilities, or some workaround so one could receive analog? Or maybe I'm just thinking old-fashioned and the coax cable isn't necessary at all and there's some other way, I don't know...

Thanks very much,

I believe most HDTV still have coax hookup for the "over-the-air" digital signals and an additional coax hookup for analogue cable coax. I know that mine does, though it is about 5 years old...

 

Here are a few pix from my inexpensive 19" (Polaroid-brand) HD tv/monitor.

As you can see, there is (on the right) a standard/typical Co-axial (75 ohm?) hookup (which is labeled "UHF/VHF IN"), but there is also an orange, rather strange (to me) hookup to the left, simply marked: "Coaxial" (please forgive my poor photography...it's just as bad as my tech [lack thereof "skills". :-o

In any event, this monitor has worked well for me as just that - a computer screen (and as well, for my PS2), however, I have yet to get it to work for my Dish Network TV (satellite). I visited my local Dish guy (supplier...the guy that hooked-up our other regular/standard TV sets), and he told me what to do...and I did it - to no avail.

I will need to visit him again, with these photos in tow...

Best of luck - not sure if I helped?

 

Thanks very much for the info, guys. Between the answers here and a "duh!" moment of looking at Best Buy's 360' view, it appears that all the TVs I've been considering have coax jacks in the back.
