Can you the USB cable be plugged into the USB port of a cable box receiver rather than plugged into the wall?

Yes, at least I have done that on both a Dish satellite box as well as a Time Warner Explorer cable box.

Sure, as long as your USB supplies 5V power, which most USB do, it is worth a try, as its only taking power, it wont work if there is no power, and there wont be any damages which I encountered, though you try at your risk.

Yes. However if you have large fingers screwing on the cable is difficult. I solved this by screwing a push on connector on the existing cable from the wall, works great.

Yes...But the design is flawed. The USB cable kept falling out causing errors. I found the female connector is recessed and doesn't make full contact. I had to cut that part of the box off.

Mike, the simple answer is no. The cable pictured is a multi-pin cable that is not compatible with most cable boxes.

Yes, the receiver itself and the base which plugs into the wall can be attached to longer (or shorter) cords.

Yes you can but you will need to buy the transfer cable as an add on accessory......cable not included in box when you buy the item

I don't think so. This device is meant to go from your cable box or DVD player to a PC or something with the USB port.

YES.. from a simple look at your device on google.. I dont see any reason why not.. again, the USB plug is ONLY for Power.. it has no technical function whatsoever. I see that your box has a USB port on the front, I Don't recommend using that USB port for the power. Reason, when you shut off the box, then that USB port most likely shuts down and will kill the IR Extender. use a spare USB charger or similar.

Yes, plug the cable into a typical USB wall block, like the ones commonly used with iPhone cables.

Yes, there is a cable input and selection on the input menu. In my case, my cable receiver box connects to this cable input.

You can plug in a composite, S-video, or HDMI cable from a cable box. It does not support a coaxial (or "TV") cable.

No, this will not allow you to do that. The secondary USB connection is wired for power only, and in any case what you are describing is not possible with any cable, because USB communication is bidirectional.

not directly but you can't plug the receiver into the back of the pc than it will not read

I don't think so I tried running a couple of devices directly off the cable and it actually would fail, it works great connected to a powered usb hub

The receiver that plugs into the USB port on the computer is included with the remote.

No, It comes with its own usb "chuck". It does not and can not work with the unifying receiver.

From what I can see, the answer is 'NO'. When wired, it gets charged, AND I just tested this by removing the receiver from my computer and it did not work. Then plugged the receiver in and it worked while being connected.
