I have an older Phillips plasma TV that has no coax connector on it. The Dish installer said I need a coax to RCA demodulator. Will this work?

This item will work. However, to do the same job it'll be cheaper to get an old VHS player though. Most of VHS players have coax in and RCA out and they demodulates better than this product.

I purchased this item because I have an old SONY 35" tube TV. The coax coaction to the tuner broke, but the tube is still good. I took the coax line that was going into the TV and connected it to the RF IN of this device. I connected red/white audio jacks from this device's red/white AUDIO OUT into the TV's red/white AUDIO IN. I did the same with the yellow VIDEO jack connections. This works fine and I have never had a problem. Based on what how you describe your situation, I would speculate that this device will work for you as it does for me. Obviously I cannot be sure, but this device is still working just fine for me. The only difference is that you have plasma and I have a tube. Hope this helps.

Yes, set dip switches to the channel that the dish receiver coax output is set for.

Yes. The dish box will need to output its video to some channel, like channel 4 for example, then you attach the dish video output via coax to this devices coax in. Then set the netmedia tuner to channel 4 as well (via internal DIP switches). Once that is configured it will output the video/audio to the rca ports. Buy from amazon if you can. I bought from the company and could not get any support when my unit died weeks after purchase. 3 emails and 4 voicemails later still no response. I ended up buying another one. That said I have 4 of these units and 1 died after a week

I believe you need hdmi to coaxial converter, this will take older device and make signal into hdmi for a new tv

One more thing about this unit. I hooked it up to a 5 year old Pioneer Elite Plasma TV and it would not transfer the video signal. I called Marantz and they said the TV was not compatible with the new switching techology. It forced me to upgrade my TV, which was an unexpected expense.

I actually used the Direct TV coaxial cable that was on the old dish mount to connect the outdoor antenna w/ my digital TV. I did have to attach a smaller diameter pipe to mount w/ the outdoor antenna but was simple enough.

It should - all you need is a coaxial input on the TV. One of my TVs is an older non-HDTV and it works with this antenna. It was the hardest one to set up because we didn't have the original remote, so it was a little difficult to find the channel scan option, which you must do to find the channels the first time. Once we found that though, the only thing we noticed with it is that because this TV has a 4:3 aspect ratio, the picture looks quite smaller on the channels that are broadcasting in wide-screen HD. But I am assuming your plasma would be wide-screen, so that shouldn't be a problem. Hope that helps. It should - all you need is a coaxial input on the TV.

Lydia, years ago I used an older TiVo that I connected to our antenna with a coax cable but I don't know about the newer ones. I'd recommend calling Tivo and asking. Their support response is quick and accurate in my experience. And free! 877-367-8486

I'll try to answer, the connection goes into Optical Digital Audio Out (amplifier needed with this RCA Ant) I'm not sure where your Dish connects to. I know I have to change on my remote menu Cable to TV Antenna selection. Not sure if I helped at all.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

It should. However you will want to check with your TV manual to confirm if all inputs will output to the coaxial out. On my 2009 RCA model TV it will but surround is not passed through on HDMI but is if you are watching ota via an antenna it will. I can confirm this works to convert 5.1 DD Coax to spdif optical out with no delay.

If the DISH satellite receiver has a signal output using RCA cables, should work fine. If the tv has a coax input.

The unit has 2 optical inputs and 1 coax input for digital audio, and RCA inputs for analog audio. So you'll have a couple of options with your Dish receiver: either connect it directly to the unit with one of those audio cables (depending on the outputs the Dish receiver has), or use your TV's Digital Out to connect it to the unit (not that most TVs downsample their Digital Out so it's better to connect the receiver directly to the unit).

I mounted my antenna near my old satellite dish and used that cable and it works great. I would imagine that cable wouldn't be any different...coax is coax. Also, in case you are interested, I am using a TIVO dvr which costs $15 a month which allows me to record regular TV shows and also streams Netflix, Pandora etc...

Short answer: yes it should work. Long answer: Your TV signal, whether it comes from your antenna, a satellite dish, or cable company, travels along the same coax cabling in your home. I did not have cable TV either and am getting my TV signal via antenna. If you have coax cabling running throughout your home and are using the correct kind of splitters (provided in the Actiontec kit) then it should work.

You need an RF de-modulator to take your coax signal and convert it to composite video this is what this box is designed for. With the dip switches set for the channel you want to watch. This unit does one channel select. There are other boxes out there that allows for multible channel selection like "PcConnectTM Coax F-Pin Cable tv to RCA Audio/Video Demodulator, and TV to VGA Converter".

You can not just hook it up and expect it to work you have to use a bias port system to put dc on the coax to run the lmb on the dish. You need to search google for someone that has done it already. I have not done it yet and do not know all the problems you will have. Good luck.

In reply to William Juarbe, I think the answer is No. No such adapter/cable. HDMI and coax transmit different signal types. You can buy a cheap digital tuner and use that. I got a Magnavox tuner on Amazon for about $35. It connects to my old TV's RCA inputs.

if your plasma has 3xRCA inputs, this will do what you're looking for. I'm using it for a chromecast to an old toshiba tube tv that only has 3xRCA inputs. Tuna Boy is right on with the usb issue, I solved that with these items: OEM Motorola SPN5689A Dual Port Universal Wall Charger for Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX XT916, XT913, XT912, PAX XT603, Atrix 2, Photon 4G, Triumph WX435, i1x, i412, XPRT and Ziotek ZT1311550 7.5-Inch USB 2.0 Type A Male to Type B Mini 5-Pin USB Cable
