It appears this will pass through a digital signal to my HDTV that does not have it's own tuner. Is this true? My Sony does not have HDMI inputs.

There's an hd antenna cost you around $10,u have to purchase that..Then connect to ur box and a position the antenna where there's no obstruction in your signal..you said u have an HDTV which must include hdmi inputs in the back..Your digital box has a RCA connection also u an connect those to ur tv..The antenna is coaxial connection..The tuner is controlled from the digital box and comes with a universal remote u can program with your tv..hope this helps..

Your TV does not have to have HDMI inputs. It is already digital ready. You'll get a nice crisp picture regardless. As far as the tuner, that's what the iView serves as...a tuner to the local channels. Just remember that you will not received channels that are normally paid for by your cable/satellite provider. Only local channels.

I have HDMI inputs to my projector, will I get High def 16:9 format picture to the projector?

It will pass through the digital signal only via the HDMI output. The Coaxial out is SD only.

use any input your tv has, this unit has multiple outputs, and it will tune all in channels available to you in your area

Your tv must be able to take a digital signal across the composite feed though, it is not common and you should look it up in the manual

only if you have an analog, older style tv. Recently sold tvs have digital tuners already built-in... and this plugs directly into the back of the tv.

Without know specifically the models of where you are originating a signal from and where the signal is going to, it is difficult to say yes. Here is a link on the manufactures website to give better detail, http://www.kanexpro.com/item/?id=HDRGBRL. The one part I do know, your "old" tv will need to have a component input. As for your SONY, give me your model number and I will attempt to help.

There are too many possible combinations of inputs and outputs to give a blanket answer to your question. The main limitation is that the included converter does not accommodate Dolby digital which is standard output for most newer equipment. Also, if the input to your device is HDMI, in many cases non-HDMI outputs are automatically shut down so they will not work with the converter in that case either.

This just transmits the hdmi signal it receives. It cannot tune into different channels..it cant even tune into one. Just plays same signal in one tv that the other one is playing.

Yes, you can hook up a Digital converter box using HDMI or component cables. For me, it is the only way to get HDTV. There is NOT a QAM tuner in this model, so you will only get analog channels when you do the scan for channels. The term "digital" for this TV is misleading in my opinion.

Alicia, if your TV is HD, a better solution is to use a HDMI to COMPONENT converter. If your TV is an analog HDTV, it will have an input for this:http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Component-video-Output-Converter/dp/B005WZMSVM/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1383307418&sr;=1-2&keywords;=hdmi+to+componentYou get full HD, but don't need the digital HDMI input for your analog HDTV.

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

How were you able to determine that it was a faulty tuner and not user error? I am going through the same situation, although it is over the air and not cable. I was told that I could plug in a standard antenna and receive digital as well as HD channels due to the HD tuner. Please educate me in this matter as I am not versed in this matter.

I have not tried to do this myself, but from I understand about HDMI you should get the 1080p video. The Sony receiver should pass through the video.

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

Well for me the input came in useful as I have 3 devices HDMI compatible and only 2 HDMI inputs on my set. I have my DVR cable box connected to the Samsung receiver via HDMI and the Samsung receiver going to the TV via HDMI. Then I have my PS3 using the other HDMI. And that's what it is all about really. Without the input on the back, I wouldn't have enough inputs to connect everything HDMI.

No this works the other way around. Look for an HDMI - AV converter...(make sure it has DHCP support)

Yes, It will bypass your HDTV tuner, similar to the way a cable box bypasses your TV tuner when hooked to a cable connection. You will need to set the HDTV to the channel specified in the instructions, then you can use the external tuner connected to your antenna to switch channels.

No you need the hdmi to VGA converter box it converts digital to analog. The one in question converts analog to digital

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.
