To connect the PCT Power Inserter to a cable box, connect the "To TV" port on the inserter to the "Cable In" (or similar) on your cable box using a coax cable.

I have a power amplifier at my attic to amplify the antenna signal. In order to supply the power for the amplifier at the same time to get the signal I need this device to connect it to my digital box and power amplifier at the attic. So I can control the power for my power amplifier at fa.ily room instead at the attic. I do not know what your purpose. You can email me again I can tell you what you should do.

It's not used with a cable-box, but with a cable splitter (where the main signal coming into the house or apartment is split to service multiple TVs or cable boxes). The instruction diagram that comes with the unit is fairly easy to understand, but you can go to PCTStore.com, search for PCT MPI1G and get some additional information.

The PCT power inserter is used in conjunction with a cable signal amplifier/splitter. It becomes useful when there is no conveniently placed AC outlet to supply power directly at the amplifier location. By using the power inserter you can power the amplifier from a remote location by placing it near your TV cable box location where it is assumed you have additional AC outlets. The 3 ports on the inserter are marked for DC in (supplied by the Xformer which comes with your amplifier), to TV/cable box , and to Amplifier. Make sure this last cable is connected to the Out + PWR port of the amplifier.

That was exactly how I used it and it worked fine. I used it to power 4 Port Cable TV/HDTV/Digital Amplifier PCT-MA2-4P.

Not problem at all just make sure cable is inserted all the way or try other cable or outlet to discard options

Thanks for the quick response. I am still getting 2 different answers. It sounds like if you hook it up before the Cable Box or TV that you can do both.

The little part on right goes on your cable box. Bigger part in the middle attaches to the TV. USB plug and adapter on left. Hope that helps

Yes you can hook a cable box to the TV. There is a selection in TV mode for AIR or CATV.

I believe it needs to be after the splitter. I currently have it between the cable box and the splitter (TV-cable box-isolator-splitter-wall). Connected directly to cable box with a connector. I think I remember testing it between the wall and splitter and it didn't work.

I don't have cable tv, so I really don't know what kind of connection is needed for a cable box, so I can't answer the question -- sorry!

It's only an IR receiver. It will not directly plug into a cable box. In order for this to be of use, you need an IR repeater block and an IR emitter placed to the front of the cable box. To find the right spot for the emitter, hold a light to the box and look for the circle on the face of the cable box. Cable co's do offer direct plug in ir receivers but they suck because they cost almost the same as a Sewell system and only do the cable box.

The usual way is to connect the cable modem before the amp using a "directional coupler" ; then go to the amp from there. The amp will cause problems for a cable modem connected thru a TV amp. The coupler looks like a "T"--the modem connects to the bottom of the T.

Connect the larger box to the cable box out and then whatever you want to the peerles box out say your receiver or your tv. The othe peerless box will see the first box. You connect a tv to it. Both TVs will see the same signal.

Hi, it was relatively easy to hook up and I'm never comfortable doing this sort of thing. I had set the tv set up with the cable box and didn't get a chance to do much more as the red line appeared on the screen. When I couldn't get rid of the red line I had to unplug and pack it up. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I use it as my primary and only cable box. Keep in mind that you may need an adapter which is a smaller cable box device but easy to hide and in my case I'm not a PPV user so i don't know how it works, besides that im pretty happy with this gadget

If you don't receive a power connector, you can use the EDA-PS on this website:http://www.cabletvamps.com/accessories.htm

If the cable box has an hdmi out on it, run it directly into your A/V receiver. If it does not have an hdmi out then yes, run the optical cable to the receiver.

Make sure you have your TV input source on the same one your box is connected to

You would need to hook the composite box 1st then the tivo box if it has the connections, however you may lose some picture quality when finally connecting the tivo to the hd tv. The signal from a cable line is only strongest with the 1st device it is connected too from my experience.

I had to plug it directly into the cable box. Sorry to say I had problems with this device and ended up sending it back for a refund.
