I have a broken coax input on my tv, my cable service needs to get to my tv without running through the tv itself. Can I run it into the box and the run it into my tv using the HDMI output?

This device does NOT work with scrambled cable/qam channels. If you are paying for premium cable channels they are most likely scrambled and this device will not be able to decode them. Even though we do not officially support cable/qam, this device will work with free/basic cable channels and allow you to bypass your tv's broken coax input.

If you are referring to a coaxial cable from your cable tv provider, then no, it doesn't. I initially purchased this unit because I accidentally broke the cable tuner on my LCD when removing it from the wall. I thought I could use this product as a workaround, but couldn't because it doesn't accept the cable tv coaxial cable line. It doesn't fit. Had to return it. If you are trying to achieve what I think you may be trying to achieve, then you need an external tuner or demodulator. Type in "All in 1 CATV coax to hdmi converter" and you are going to see the exact same product on the top three listings on the search results page. The prices will range from $136 to $218.

The TV has all the standard inputs. So connecting to cable should not be a problem.

There was a power supply that plugs into the wall but has a threaded coax connector. Your will need a piece of coax with F-type female connectors on each end (essentially the same as you would use to connect your cable box to your TV) to connect the power supply to the unit.

I used the HDMI for output to the TV. I believe you can use coax as well, but if you are HD capable I would go with the HDMI cable.

No. I have a tv that only has a coax input and I bout this cable to hook up an Apple TV which requires hdmi. You can't see it in the picture but the cable's end is not a normal coax. It wouldn't plug into my tv like a normal coax cable would. I had to send it back and have not been able to find the cable I need.

Just add a note, if you run an HMDI cable to the closest TV and a coax to the longer run TV, I have found some HD shows will not play on the coax tv unless you unplug the HMDI.

use a vcr it hooks up via rca and u can hook the coax to the vcr. then u can use the vcr controller to switch through the cable channels.

If you use Cable as Part of Internet service then they provide Device which has HDMI Output. IMO, Local Cable TV Operators provide Coax cable(old round tv cables) only. In that case, this device won't help. Better check with Friends, Colleagues who live there.

usinjg your cable box, where you would normally plug it into your TV via RCA plugs, plug it into the Iview then output your Iview to your TV's Input. Should work, even if its scrambled, it gets converted through the cable company's box, you just hook this up inbetween your cable box and tv, you will be able to watch and record all the channels, it wont work just hooking up the coaxle cable into the Iview.

Yes, the box has one coax cable that run from antenna to the TV, and also a power cable.

It is possible to connect the cable box to the receiver HDMI port, connect the receiver to the TV and listen to the sound through the TV speakers. It WILL pass through the audio provided there is power to the receiver. The receiver does not have to be on as it would then play through the surround speakers rather than the TV speaker. Within the menus there is a pass-through option. Receiver, Setup, HDMI Setup, HDMI Through (I select CBL/SAT here which corresponds with the HDMI input port for the cable box).

You will not find ANY cable that does that... coax and hdmi use two completely different electrical signals and number of conductors. You'll need an external tuner now.

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.

I know this is an old thread but you really want to plug them into your TV and "not" your cable box in this case. For your TV to put out some other audio than what is on the screen is very very unusual. Infact after 12 years of TV repair and install I have never heard such a thing. Maybe even impossible unless the box is really messed up. If you ever are "recording" a program on a box while watching another program at the same time that may or may not cause a problem.Do you have more than one set of audio out jacks? Some but not all do.In short....thats very strange.Hope you got it fixed. I know this is an old thread but you really want to plug them into your TV and "not" your cable box in this case.

No, but if you buy a digital converter box with an hdmi and coaxial cable connection you can make it work. My HDtv was damaged and the coaxial cable connection was knocked off. I new repairing would be expensive so I purchased a Mediasonic converter box and a mediasonic antenna. I then hooked the converter box to the TV with and hdmi connection and to the antenna with a coaxial cable connection. It work just great! Most over the air channels I have ever pulled in and it cost less than $40.00.Mary

No the connection is not a coax cable. I know it says it is, but the description is wrong. There is no way other than a switcher to go from coax to hdmi.
