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.

Should be able to do it since it has a HDMI input. I'm using a component converter from my cable box as I have an older cable box that doesn't have HDMI output but I just went in and looked and it has the HDMI input as shown in the product description.

No I don't believe you can use an HDMI but a friend told me about an adapter that I was gonna try and use before I found an old TV in storage.

If your challenge is that your newer TV only has HDMI inputs then you could still use this box but would need an HDMI to RCA cable to connect it to the TV (this switch box only has rca inputs/outputs). But then you should be fine.

If your cable box has RCA plugs out available and your tv on the wall has RCA plugs in it will work. You still have to have wires running to the TV from the Receiver of the Nyrius but it is a good solution if your wiring for the cable is not near where your TV is mounted. Signal will not be HD.

From what I can gather from your question I would say YES. My TV only has HDMI inputs as well and I use one of these to hook up an old VCR to it that has the Yellow/Red/White RCA connectors.

If you can, run HDMI from cable box to receiver and then sep. HDMI from receiver to TV. If you don't have enough inputs, you can just go from the cable box direc to the TV. Use HDMI if possible, or you may need to run both video and either optical for audio to the tv

Yes. Simply program a command and it will do it. Watch TV~ turn on amp, TV input HDMI1, and cable box.

As long as you have both the antenna and the box you could hook up to any TV, the box is compatible with any kind of TV HD or not.

No this will not work for you. The HDMI signal can't be converted to an RCA signal with out sometype of converter box and honestly I don't know if they make that type of converter.

As long as your old TV has the connections for two inputs, I don't know why you couldn't use it. My TV's have 2 or 3 connections so I think it depends on how old your TV is and if you have enough connections for input.

Yes it will work as long as the old tv at least has rca input (yellow for video, red and white for audio.) There is a chance you need a cable card to put in the slot but usually you dont need it unless you have premium channels that require decoding.

No. Most older TV's have a standard AV input (red, white and sometimes yellow), so this DVI to HDMI converter will not work. You are looking for an HDMI to AVI connector. Also, look out for converters that are AVI to HDMI... not necessarily the same thing. You are looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Composite-S-Video-Converter-DA-HDRC/dp/B009TC9T7K/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_1

We also have cable, we had to have a small cable connector box in the cabinet above. You might need to call your cable co to ask them if this is what you need also...

I would think it would work hooking one end to the HDMI out on your cable box and one end to the HDMI in on your TV, Requires 2 cat 5 or cat 6 cables. I used it to connect a laptop HDMI out to a tv and worked great for me.

You can connect anything with an HDMI output and hook up to your older television as long as it has "component video input."

You want a box opposite of this one. This box takes an older type composite signal and outputs HDMI (for a new TV). Check the site for a box that does the opposite of this one (HDMI to composite) and you will be fine.
