Will this control more than one device at a time? Cable box and TV?

Yes it should. Even though we're only using it for TVs, it comes with codes for multiple devices and TVs from many different manufacturers.

I'm sorry, but I returned this item. The labeling on the buttons could be extremely confusing to some people.

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

yes. BUT, you will only be able to watch what the SENDING tv is on.( one tv must be connected to the cable company box)

I believe so, if you have multiple receivers set to the same xmtr definitions. I have multiple TVs with one cable box.

It will work, it will take some time to set up. It is not easy, if your a novice don't spend the time or money. There are other ways. Some cable companies allow you to control your cable box over the net. I also have the belkin @tv it allows me to control the cable box and watch it also. If you need to control more ir devices than cable box the above ir box will work, just need to invest the time.

I use this to switch the output of my cable box to different TVs. It switches instantly.

Yes, you are right! You dont need two devices. This works great on Time Warner Cable.

you can use it in place of a cable box but you will have 2 TV sets playing the same program. this system only moves the signal it will not give you a separate control

Afraid not. The switching happens on the 2 side. So 4 peripherals across 2 comps (or DVRs in your case). The button just toggles back and forth between the 2 connections. I use it to share mouse/keyboard across 2 comps.

it will be two separate outputs working one at a time. An example us using computer on one medium sized monitor and switching to large monitor to watch Hulu from computer. Hope thus helps.

If you're trying to hook up multiple devices at once, yes. It also switches to the device when it powers on or you can manually switch them.

No. This allows you to hook up two outputs to one TV. I use it for my Direct TV box and Apple TV.

No I do not belive so. I use this to switch between an Xbox and PS3 on either a computer screen or TV. It has two inputs and outputs but can only choose one of each at a time. Your situation is more complicated and will probably need a combination of a switch and a splitter but to be honest I can't quite figure out how that would work.

Hook first tv with hdmi or audio video then run coax to second but if you arevhoping to watch separate channels on both tv you wont be able to

No, this device is for multiple tvs. What you need is a HDMI switch, not splitter.

Yes. I use it in a similar situation with my TiVo box and my Denon receiver. Instead of buying two separate wireless adapters for each unit, I have this behind my tv with 2 Ethernet wires: 1 to the TiVo and the other to the receiver. Has worked well over the last year or two for me.

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack
