can this product be used to watch TV on a laptop? I have an open coaxial port that provides cable signal and I would like to connect it to my laptop.

Negative, it would work the other way - pushing audio from a laptop / USB to an aux port (which most TVs have). And it's only handling audio, no video.

I use this strictly as headphone amp from Mac to headphones, not exactly sure what impact it would have on a TV signal to or from your laptop. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No. The coaxial port is for audio. It is not a video port. There is no way to plug your cable box into your laptop and use the screen to watch TV. You can get some sort of online streaming service through your cable provider to do that.

This product is for audio only. It will convert a digital audio signal into an analog audio signal (DAC). I am assuming the coaxial port you are referring to is RG56/RG6, this is a coaxial connection but not the same coaxial type connection on the D5. The D5 has a RCA coaxial connection that is used for digital audio only.

The description clearly states "USB Digital Audio Decoder and Headphone Amplifier with a dual direction audio input and output." Audio only.

It does have an hdmi input so if you have a cable box that has HDMI output then yes you can. It does not have a coaxial connection.

Hi, if you wanna use it on the TV, we won't suggest you order this item. A brand of TV often support only one wireless card. This item can compatible with Notebook and laptops.

Probably not. This converter is for changing an HDMI signal into a VGA signal. Not the other way around. If your PC/Laptop has HDMI out, just use an HDMI cable. If your computer has VGA out, just buy a VGA to HDMI cable.

I have only used it on the TV - I couldn't answer that except by experience with computers. As long as you have a card with an HD receiver and the coax connector you should be able to.

It does not take input from coaxial cable. I am not sure if it has PCIe slot but I doubt that you can find a tv tuner that fits this compact design you'd have to get an external usb tuner. it comes with 2GB of memory, if you want TV tuner you must upgrade the memory otherwise performance will be bad. I installed 8GB and it is working fine even though in the specs it says it supports only 4GB.

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.

The port is for HDMI output, which only means that the laptop screen can be seen on your TV. It doesn't come with what you need to connect to a cable box. You can buy a connector so you can get HD channels. Do a search on Amazon: Electronics--> PCTV to find them.

Forgive me for the typical technical support response...."it depends." Look on your laptop (and HDTV). This cable connects to a VGA Port - a square looking port with 3 rows of 5 little circles (15 pins). The shape looks like someone squished the bottom of a square much like the front grill on a jeep. More and more, this is not being put on current HDTVs. If you don't see that port, look for an HDMI port. The shape resembles a squished top hat (google image search). I would wager that if your TV is no older than 6 years, it has an HDMI port.

If your laptop has an HDMI out port, then yes. You can connect this TV just like any HD component and both audio and video will work. This TV can also see a media server (Windows media player can do this) that is on the same network as the laptop if you are looking to stream movies or music. If not you will need to buy a VGA to HDMI adapter, preferably one that has audio jacks included that connect to your headphones port. That is a fairly cumbersome method but can be done.

Can this be used to hook up a laptop computer? (I have a laptop that works but with a broken monitor. I'm thinking this might be a passable -- I don't have high hopes for "great," but it might be passable -- solution until I can get the laptop fixed?Could I either connect this with a standard monitor plug or with one of my laptop's USB ports?Thanks.

Sorry, don't know if I can help you. I simply use it to transmit a laptop to a TV for work presentations. It's a bit fussy but I can generally get it to work.Joel

No, you can only hook it up to a laptop. If you have an HDMI port on both your computer and tv and have an HDMI cable, then you can hook your computer to your tv and this to your computer.

I'm not sure about that. I only connect my laptop to the TV to play Netflix and things like that. Really I use the TV as a monitor I guess you could say. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

yes you can, make sure your laptop connection isnt a HDMI mini though. Some are but its easily fixed by getting an adapter. but Yes the cable is capable of this.

Yes, I use mine to watch cable or by switching see TV from the antenna. No problem to do what you want.

Yes, you can connect this from a laptop with an HDMI video port to an TV with RCA A/V inputs. However, please know that this is not a very high quality converter. The best usage would be to display videos and movies as someone else already mentioned that text, such as your computer desktop, will be almost illegible. This will not suffice as a solution to a second computer monitor. Watching movies will be ok and honestly, the smaller the TV screen size that you use, the better the picture will appear.
