I assume you need one for each TV, correct? Or can this be plugged into the cable box which would affect all the TV's?

Well, we don't have cable (probably the only people on the planet), but if you can't run any tv without that cable box plugged in, I assume that would work. The cable box, if normally is just plugged into the wall, you would plug that into BOB then plug BOB into the wall. I'm talking about just a regular wall outlet, not the cable wires. If the only source of power you get is through a cable wire, not regular wall outlet, then you can't do that. Basically, you can only plug a normal wall plug into BOB. Games could still be played though any tv because the tv and game device can still be turned on.

Your first thought is correct, Bob has only one outlet for one device. I don't know for sure how it would work with the cable box, although it is my impression turning off the cable box is not advised. I hope this helps.

One per TV. And, beware that it simply cuts power so you'd never want to use this on a device that needs a cooling period or has memory (for channels or whatever). For example, if you had it on a projection-style TV that has a powerful bulb internally projecting and image, that bulb needs to be cooled and that requires power, so if the power is cut, the bulb can overheat, greatly cutting its lifetime.

If you only have a single coax input on your tv, you will needed some kind of coax switch, not a coax splitter.

You will need three cables: one from the cable box to the Portta, and one to one TV, and another cable to the other TV.

A converter box is only needed If the tv requires a box to operate if you plan to use multiple tv's buy a powered spliter

It has to attach to the TV much like cable TV does. As far as I can tell you can only use it with one TV at a time.

Only if cable connecting to box it source so the antenna would need go to box first than the TV

All of your equipment uses different IR codes. The code to turn on your tv is different from the code to turn on your cable box. Therefore, you can use 1 IR port to control many things. What I normally do is splice the emitters together but you can buy ones that come with multiple emitter heads so you don't have to splice anything. I've only seen up to 6 emitters per port. You have to take into consideration that the more emitters you add per port the bigger the load on that port will be. You will reach a point where that port won't be able to supply enough voltage to make the emitters work properly. All of your equipment uses different IR codes.

I don't have cable tv, so I really don't know what kind of connection is needed for a cable box, so I can't answer the question -- sorry!
126742
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)

You need an antenna cable to go from your antenna to the device hooked to the "in" connector. Then you can hook another antenna cable to your TV from one of the "out" connectors.

i have 6 tv's, i will need a unit for each. "Question" do I have to pay extra for more than one unit?
1056280
yes you will need more than one. It will only work on one tv at a time. Or you could use it in on what ever room you are watching the tv in. Very easy to hook up.

Assuming they all use the red, white, & yellow plugs to show up on the tv, then yeah. Absolutely. I don't remember if the unit comes with a pair of cords though to connect IT to the tv though, which would need to be red, white, & yellow on both ends. So, if it doesn't come with one of those you'll need to track one down.

Yes...We have ours hooked up to 2 tvs. We have to buy a converter box for one tv because it was not HD.
1396382
No, though you may want more than 1. I have a 55" TV and have a single strip running across the middle of it. While that "works," it's not as bright as I would like it to be and I would probably put a 2nd strip on it, locating one across the bottom and the other across the top. You definitely should not need 4 of them.

You an wire a large attic antenna to multiple TV's but, this small antenna would be difficult to wire to multiple televisions. With how inexpensive it is, I'd just buy one for each tv. BUT just buy one first and make sure that this antenna actually works in your area. Topography, weather, distance to the antennas, etc. all have an impact on which kind of antenna is best for your TV.

Don't know we just set it up for the tv, don't need a cable box it's only basic cable. Sorry.
