If I use this to connect my TV wirelessly to my coax outlet (no set top box), what remote would I use to change channels?

I don't think you can use this system because the transmitter only has the old style banana plug input connections for video and audio in/out. It does not have a coax IN connection.

Good luck, I could not find ones that worked when I searched around. The only way I was able to set up another remote on this terrible unit, was through auto scan on my cable providers remote control.

you have to go to menu/channel and switch from air to cable then auto program

manual. though it automatically switches to the latest connected input by default. There is a switch that you press in to change the "channels"

Should work OK with any standard definition coax input. Contrary to some advertisements, this does not have HDMI inputs and is not a true HDTV.

no, this is a nice item but only changes channels etc with the remote in one room and receiver in another...works good, i also owned one about 12 years ago..

It sounds like you are looking to use the coax input on the modulator, and output rca cables to your tv. I've never tried this, but it could work. The modulator has an antenna in coax input, and an rf out coax input. I would give it a try, and if it doesn't work, return it.

since it uses the coaxial input on the TV, you will need to tune your TV to channel 3 or 2. and that will have to be ANALOG channel 3 or 2. remember, this is to connect a new device to an older tv that does not have AV inputs.

Thanks, M. Squires - much appreciated. I expect that I'll be using a Harmony remote, but presumably that just replicates the TV remote's own signal. If you find definitively that this either does or doesn't work, I'd love to know.

I'm pretty sure the directions that come with the remote say it won't work with a cable box. We do have cable boxes in our house, but not on the tv that we use this remote for.

You don't need a code. It's not like programming a universal remote. You make the antenna/TV/converter connections and follow the directions to scan for channels available through your antenna.

Mine is set up so that when the channel is changed on the receiver it changes on both tvs; you watch same program on both tvs at all times. (There is a satellite remote in each room so that I do not have to leave a room in order to change the channel.)

I have a coax going to this device which is running cable channels and I have it connected through an HDMI cable to my TV. Works fine for me.

The following assumes that the "coax" is connected to an antenna (eg, rabbit ears); if it is connected to a cable box, I'm not sure how to proceed, since my cable box does not put out HD, so I use the RCA cables (red, white, yellow) to connect from back of cable box to TV's similarly colored plug-receptors) and choose "AV" (Audio/Video) in step #1 (see next). 1) If the coax comes from an antenna, be sure you have chosen the "INPUT" as "TV", not "AV". ie, on the remote control, press the "SOURCE" button (upper left to the cursor keys -- which are the L,R, Up, Down keys surrounding the "OK" key: See pg 9 of (my) manual); then use the cursor keys UP and DOWN to select "TV", then press "OK" in center of cursor key layout. 2) If you have not yet scanned for your local stations (or if you want to do so again): Press "MENU" key on the remote (upper right to cursor keys), then press DOWN cursor key twice to get to "TV", then press the Right cursor key once, then Down once to get to Channel Scan, then RIGHT to initiate channel scan. It will take 4-5 min to scan for stations strong enough to be received. Once this is done, it will return to normal operation, or you can press Menu several times to return. 3) If you still do not get any channels (and assuming you are living within 10 miles of stations), problem may be with TV. If things are now working, remove undesired channels (p16: Menu, down x2, right x1, down x2, right) and you are set. Hope that helps!

yes. you need to choose the input associated with the connection you plugged it into. you may have an "input" button on your remote that will allow you to toggle through the choices.

This product lets you convert from the RF output with RCA-type plug on the computer/game console to a F-type RF antenna male connector that screws into your TV F-Type antenna input directly. That means, you have to unscrew the CATV provider cable from the TV and plug this one coming from the console in order to use it. In order to avoid having to go to the back of the TV set every time to switch inputs, you can plug both this product and your CATV signal coaxial cable into the IN connectors on a switch like this one https://www.amazon.com/RCA-VH71-Slide-Switch/dp/B00009W3F2/ref=lp_6291368011_1_10?s=lamps-light&ie=UTF8&qid=1402970350&sr=1-10 and then its TV SET output through a coaxial cable into your TV set's antenna input. Then the switch will let you select either the CATV provider or your computer/game console.

If it is a old TV then you need a digital to analog converter box. You plug the Philips antenna into the converter box and then plug the converter box into the coaxial TV plug. Here is Youtube video that might help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGqbp5gSQOQ
