I dont see why not. The Live gamer HD uses hdmi input, so as long as your cable box hook up is hdmi there shouldn't be a problem. the downside is that if you use this method your main monitor input is taken up. if you use a dvi-d hookup for your monitor and onlu use one i dont forsee a problem. but the hdmi input to the card does not carry sound. there is another 3.5mm audio jack for sound. and you aould have to watch through a capture application. while it comes with one im not sure how well the quality would be as I have never used a capture card for this kind of thing. if you decide to get this and try it please let me know if it works and how well.

You can, but if your Cable Box has HDCP ( content protection) you'll need a converter like Monoprice 105369 DVI and S/PDIF Digital Coax Optical Toslink Audio to HDMI Converter and an HDMI to DVI dongle to convert hdmi and a optical cable for sound from the cable box to the converter. My Xbox and PS3 was the same way when i attempted to Stream my Games thru tis card it caught the HDCP and i had to do it that way just to stream payday 2

I believe you should be able to. You might want a splitter to remove HDCP. That will guarantee that it will work. Otherwise, I'm not sure but positive.

You can hook it up but if your cable box has hdcp encryption which I'm sure it does use you will not be able to watch tv from it. You will need to get a dvi-hdmi converter to bypass that part of it.

Yes.Your HDMI output goes to the Integrated Amplifier( You should have one ).

Sorry that won't work. Take a look at this box instead: Cable Matters 3-in-1 AV Converter with HDMI Output

Yes. Mine goes from cable box HDMI output to digital TV monitor's DVI input. Works perfectly for HD TV.

Instead of directly connecting HD-STB to TV I want to use my HD-STB through my PC using capture card. Is this going serve the purpose?

Yes you can. I've hooked up directv, cable box, roku, Sony video streamer, etc.

In my case, the answer is yes. I installed the card in a Dell Precision 380, have it hooked up to a TV with HDMI, and get audio and video from the TV for shows playing on the computer.

What kind of cable? A cable tv box should have output connections. I would suggest using HDMI to get the best picture.

I think so , as long as you use available ports in the card : I/O HDMI * 1DVI-I * 1 Mini DisplayPort *2http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4102#sp

Yes. I have had it take an input from my cable box and output to my projector, tv and receiver simultaneously.

Yes you can, you just have to assign which source will come out from each hdmi output

Yes, it is possible to hook up a computer via the HDMI input on the receiver.

no, the hdmi input on your pc is an output. you would need to buy another device.

yes, its possible. You'll need what's known as a tv-card. Basically, it allows you to plug in a coax signal to watch tv on your computer. I found it was great when I was in college where space is limited. The majority of these cards also come with the ability to input an RCA and s-video signal, just requires an open PCI slot on your desktop. The brand I have is Winfast and I believe it was around $50 when I got it, though that was about 8 years ago. Good luck.

As long as your computer has HDMI out, you can plug that into this unit's input. Then, connect the outs to your monitor, and TV

Yes, you can plugin this into HDMI port on monitor and have it run like a normal computer. However the user interface might not be a PC friendly as the fonts and mouse pointer (its huge) are optimized for home theater PC. XBMC is pre-installed and you can install apps from Google App store as well.

It does have an hdmi input so if you have a cable box that has HDMI output then yes you can. It does not have a coaxial connection.
