i need to move my tv to another wall that has no comcast cable connection. Is this the device I would use? If not, can you recomend one? thanks

as long as your cable box has RCA pin connectors it should work. for the money this item is a good option

If your Comcast receiver has composite output (yellow, red, and white), you should have no problem with connection. If you have only coaxial output, you would need to convert the coaxial to composite using a converter.

As long as there is a cable box hooked up to your provider, it will work. The sending unit hooks into the back of the cable box and the receiver to the TV. If you wish to make a channel change you have to see that a signal can reach the sending unit at the cable box.

If this unit will connect to your Comcast box, it will xmit a signal to the TV without the cable connection. This system connects with RCA type cables. I have Directv & it works great.

Chalucch, I'd think this solution would work well for you. We've basically done the same thing. You'd simply connect the Transmitter to the Cable box like your TV is currently connected (I suspect with RCA cables) and the Receiver box to your TV (like it's plugged into the Cable box), face the Receiver and Transmitter units toward one another (as the directions specify) and set the IR sender in front of your Cable box. Your remote will work just as usual. Hope this helps.

You could use this device, however keep a couple things in mind. This does not have HD in case you need or want that. Also it needs a cable box in order to send a signal to your TV, you could not hook a cable going from the wall to it and transmit to TV. So you may have to "share" it with another tv if you don't have another cable box. We use ours so we can watch tv outside in our spa and its great for that!

This device is designed to copy one drive to another without connection to a computer. Just a AC wall plug. It can however also be used as a USB dock, allowing you to use third party software yes. Though it is MUCH slower to do so that way.

We hooked it up to our Comcast receiver and it seemed to do all that we wanted for running our cable. The tablet was primarily bought for kids to play on, so we weren't going to fight with them over it just to change channels or watch movies. As such, it was just novelty checking on the cable and we didn't do any other components beyond that.

Thanks Bob; after much research your post was the only entry where i saw hope. I was on the phone with Sony, Comcast, Motorola and couldn't come up with a solution. I was on the phone with Comcast when your post hit and I read it to them and they said it would work, but they said instead of using 31759 , they had me enter 1758. I don't have to hit / toggle the AUX / CABLE button at all. After doing what you said and entering 1758, my Comcast remote works for all functions on the TV (channel change, volume, on/off, etc.). When I turn on/off the DVR/TV via the ALL ON button, it turns on/off the soundbar also. It's great ! Thanks a million ! Thanks Bob; after much research your post was the only entry where i saw hope.

Do not buy this device online, as it can only be obtained via Comcast. They seem to have been stolen and are being sold online. http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/device.php?devid=357

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles

The does not have a coax input. So, if Comcast uses cable connections (rather than phone line hookups), I don't think this will work. I used it with AT&T DSL, because they provide their signal (in the house) via phone lines and/or ethernet cables. Hope that helps. :)

Only if you want to send the signal to other devices. Honestly I would look for other options. I have been very unimpressed with this tv tuner.

So Comcast functions normally with this remote? Like using the guide, recording/playing/rewind/pause DVR, etc. Want to be sure before I buy this. Thanks!!

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

This extender is a way to transmit a video signal via ethernet cables. So if the source, cable box, satellite box, blu ray etc...., has a HDMI connection it should work. You would connect from the source and go out to another tv somewhere. I hope that makes sense.

This device is for serial data (via IR) to be sent or received between two computerized pieces of equipment. I feel strongly this is not the correct device to remotely control a cable box. If you are doing data transfers to a cable box ~ perhaps. Yet I've never seen a scenario in which a Cable Box sent or received computer data to something like, say, a PC. That said, what you are really looking for is either an IR Blaster, or other universal IR Remote. Perhaps a search on Amazon with the terms: pc IR remote will return a device that is more suitable. I think you are wise that you asked before buying.

In using this I found the best setup is the cable feed enters the house. Put in a 2-way splitter. One leg of the splitter run directly to the cable modem (I have Comcast), run the other leg of the two way splitter into this Booster. From this booster run to a single splitter with enough ports to supply all your televisions. If you have unused ports put terminators on them. I used this splitter from the Motorola Amp to my televisions Calrad 75-713-8 8-Way 1GHz Digital Splitter.They make smaller splitters, but this one had the amount of ports I needed. If you use multiple splitters you degrade your signal a lot, that's why one large splitter with all home runs of cable is best.Good luck.

You can use this unit for any level of service from Comcast. The only limit is what connections there are on the back. If you want to run a phone line through it, and there is no phone jack, you will be limited to just cable TV.

No. its a passive splitter. The only way it will work is if you unplug the tv you aren't using. You need to get an active splitter (one that you have to plug in and gets power) in order to do what I think you want to do. At least that was my experience.
