No, I have a motorola box. I would think if you are using the original remote that is IR, it should work. I use a universal remote with the correct code to the box and it works flawlessly, going on a year now.

Nelci, If I were to set it up this way would the tv pass the signal thru as if it was coming directly from the cable box? Would it lose it's 5.1 (or any other audio code) signal going thru the TV and out to the receiver? Jack

I found that plugging the unit into a power strip on the same outlet as the cable box was a problem. A different electrical outlet solved the issue.

I tried it but it didn't work. I bought a cable which connected the router to the TV perfectly.

Yes, I have it going through 2 wall plates with 30ft between and then another 20ft from one wall plate to cable box. I have Zero problems with it. Used every day for over a year. And I used cheap cable. I think I had tried a splitter at cable box output with problems. Dead. But I feel that was my choice of splitter.

No it didn't work for me at all. Looks like it just changes the physical connection but not the actual signal, since real converter boxes run $50+ http://sewelldirect.com/articles/HDMI-Converter.aspx

I know you've found your answer, but my code was one of the ones for RCA (10047 on my cable box/dvr remote). I plan on getting a harmony remote up and running. Does that have a dedicated code for it/work well in your hands?

To be honest I think you will have to try it or call the company about your location. By the way, I am happy with the product, I install in the attic of my house run coax cable to both of my TV.

Your pre-exsisting Cabling should be fine however the only thing is you have to make sure where ever you put the antenna you will need a connection from there back to the TV you are accessing. I'm not 100% sure if you have a few cable splitters how that will effect the signal quality but it is worth a shot.

I have a Hi-Def cable box from the cable company. The coaxial goes into the cable box and the cable box has a hdmi port that can go right in the back of the TV or in our case since we have the 607 we go threw that first and then the TV. But if you don't have a cable box then this will not work correctly.Yes I am still playing with all the settings...... I think it is All Channles that I listen to the most... Then the low suround setting makes everything pop also.

I had to plug it directly into the cable box. Sorry to say I had problems with this device and ended up sending it back for a refund.

That is what I was trying to do....... one at a time, but it did not work with a Comcast box............ It worked with a friend's Verizon box, though. I guess it depends on the cable box.

It's not used with a cable-box, but with a cable splitter (where the main signal coming into the house or apartment is split to service multiple TVs or cable boxes). The instruction diagram that comes with the unit is fairly easy to understand, but you can go to PCTStore.com, search for PCT MPI1G and get some additional information.

Hi, it was relatively easy to hook up and I'm never comfortable doing this sort of thing. I had set the tv set up with the cable box and didn't get a chance to do much more as the red line appeared on the screen. When I couldn't get rid of the red line I had to unplug and pack it up. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I had comcast and bluray player hooked to it but it wouldn't automatically switch even when I turned off the bluray player completely. Tried with cable box, it won't either but I think that was because the cable box is always on standby.
