This remote has codes to work with hundreds of TV and component options. I have used this with Comcast for years and now even use it to control TV and DVD and my Fios (Motorola) cable box. I like the layout of this remote better than the Frontier remote. It should work for you and at this price, it's worth a try.

It will receive cable signals without the box. The tuner will work excellent on the HD channels and okay on the others

While I do not know for sure I will say that this tv should work with any cable box that has an HDMI connector or RCA jack. Mine is connected to a Comcast box. I am very pleased with the price performance of this tv.

You can connect the cable antenna directly to this tuner and it will receive the QAM channels that your cable company puts on the cable. Some do and some don't. Ours does. So do not need to rent a box from the cable company. Only is any good if your cable company has open QAM

If you have cable you shouldn't need this box. This is for a regular antenna to convert digital signal back to analog on the older tv so you can view

Michael based on the documentation provided all indicates specifically for cable tv only. However if you go to their web site there are other units you use. Get the model number then search it on amazon. Also i believe their link for the model you are looking for may route you back to amazon. This unit is pretty solid and has not failed me yet with the cable and modem. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

I have this in a room where I have no cable box. It is in the basement. I didn't want to pay for another receiver. You will need a remote for it or use one from another TV. It works great. You do have to watch whatever is on the TV it is connected to but you can change the channels from there.

u will get ur local unscrambled channels,i have two of these and love them it will take a while to go thru the channels and set them up. No coax port on a tv? whats next? looks like u will have to rent a box maybe that was the plan all along by not adding a coax port. would like to know what brand it is if u dont mind.Or is this a monitor/display u are using?

Depends on the cable and the TV. Typically you get your signal from a cable box or another device rather than a tv. If that device has an hdmi out you can just plug an hdmi cable in. For a TV to work as you indicated it would have to have an out bound cable plug.

It should work, all this device does is transfer the output signal from optical to analog RCA so it will not damage the cable box.

when we had cable, brighthouse , cable worked on our standard definition tv without a converter box, i think theres something built into the cable box already. if you only use this magnavox youre going to get over-the-air channels like local and PBS stuff like that and id recommend getting a digital antenna

It will accept the input from a cable box. Most cable providers scramble their channels now, so it most likely won't work directly. The box will be necessary to descramble the signal.

I'm not sure. I have my mothers remote programmed to her TV without a cable box. Not sure how well it works with CATV providers. Maybe try contacting Optimum Cable to see if it is compatible with their equipment or contact the company that made the cable box. Good luck.. :)

No well it depends on I there anything wrong with the TV right now the TV has a av cable hook up and a cable wire hook up should work fine so no converter box is needed unless one of them don't work and I don't think you will have a problems with that though anyway if there is something wrong with is and there shouldnt be you can always return it

This remote is designed to power on/off all brands of TV's, control volume, change channels. I do not believe it will work any cable boxes. So Yes it will still work your TV no mater where your cable comes from but you will need a separate remote to work your cable box.

Well also it just a regular TV I mean all you have to do is either hook up your cable TV up by Hdmi or cable wire or TV intena by wire and I guess you could use the converter box for free TV I don't know how that works

No, this unit only works on existing cable services. It basically would replace the set top box that the cable company would rent you.
