Can I use this as my primary and only cable box or do I need a Time Warner Cable box as my primary and this as my secondary?

I use it as a secondary box, but it should be fine as your only box. You just have to get a cable card from TWC. Remember this is not a DVR. Also, the built in Netflix app is kind of spotty. The others apps work fine.

The Samsung box cannot be used for on demand channels but will work for all of the other channels you have subscribed to. Consequently, I have the Time Warner cable box as a primary and use the Samsung as a secondary. However, since I now use the Netflix service to watch movies, I really don't need the on demand channels and could use the Samsung as a primary cable box.

Time Warner gave me a tuner box to connect to this Samsung and a cable card to insert into this Samsung. There was no charge for the tuner box from Time Warner.

I use it as my primary and only cable box. Keep in mind that you may need an adapter which is a smaller cable box device but easy to hide and in my case I'm not a PPV user so i don't know how it works, besides that im pretty happy with this gadget

I have fios and I was able to return the cable box that I was using from them and in return get a cable card. It works for the channels but I am unable to get the guide to work. I am not sure about time warner but I am sure that it is the same. Hope that helps.

I use Time-Warner as my isp. I called them before I made the purchase and asked them to be sure I could use the one that I was looking at. Once I got ok from them, I purchased and had T-W set it up on their end. I would suggest that you give your ISP a call before spending any money on a modem.

I purchased one some time back and wanted to use it to replace my cable box. It did no do that so I assume that it can not do what you want it to do.It is a very technical piece of equipment and not for a casual user.

No it will not replace time warner. to use this box you will be required to have the Ematic remote and the TV remote because the Ematic will not turn on or change TV stations. on a scale of 1 to 10 I give the Ematic a 3.

The only adapter I have connected is the Time Warner adapter, with the cable card. My TiVo box is hard wired w a Cat 5 to my Clear Wire Internet box. I'm able to access NetFlix, Pandora, Hulu & more w no problem and watch streaming TV.

Thanks for the quick response. I am still getting 2 different answers. It sounds like if you hook it up before the Cable Box or TV that you can do both.

After I thought about this, I think I have the answer. It may be switching box for your antenna input between cable and digital over the air that is being converted to a cable signal. Just a thought. You set your television up to receive a type of signal input for your antenna input, either air or cable. I have Time Warner and local stations are incorporated into their channel package. Go to your cable company's website, sign in and look for "Chat" and ask. They will be glad to answer.Have a great day!Mark

Well on my brand of TiVo , sling box is not an option when you have to choose the cable box brand. However, why not chech TiVo on line and see if their is a code you can enter under advanced setup.

I don't know since I live in California and using Time Warner Cable Service. Check with your local tech service.

I had no trouble at all. I use Time Warner and using the set-up instructions, it has worked well, including TIVO. My advice is to get all the information available for Energy Power Bar and give their customer service call. For the price, its a good box.

Dear friend. Yes you need cable. It is a very complicate installation because, that particular TV Turner was discontinue.

From what I can gather, you still have to pay for the channels and a card. This only allows you to stream to all the other devises in your house without having to pay the cable co for other boxes.

absolutely not, this is an internet router and has nothing at all to do with cable tv, except for the fact my internet comes threw the tv cable line from time warner, i dont even have a tv, just a computer and monitor. the cable companies have you over the barrel you have to buy or rent a box for each additional tv.

No! this modem is for DSL services operating off of your home phone service. You need a cable modem for Time Warner Cable services

You would need to hook the composite box 1st then the tivo box if it has the connections, however you may lose some picture quality when finally connecting the tivo to the hd tv. The signal from a cable line is only strongest with the 1st device it is connected too from my experience.
