Will this work with a cable input and a digital antenna? I only have one co-axial input on my new smart tv and currently have to unplug and plug.

No. You can't mix OTA (antenna) and cable. You'll need two separate lines and a switch.

Does this work with a cable input and a digital antenna -- those 2 different inputs -- into a smart TV. (Thank you Keith for the answer, but I was interested in whether cable input and antenna input work).

To be totally honest i don't know if that application is possible. I'm using it to mix the seperate hdtv channels of two seperate directional antennas. I'm not sure if there would be any interferance between the over the air feed and the catv feed. You might look for a coaxial switch simular to the ones used with video game systems. Good luck

I bought this to do just that. You do need a short coaxial cable to plug the splitter into the TV coaxial input and then plug the antenna in one and the Satellite DVR in the dual side of the splitter. I'm able to use the TV remote to switch between over the air digital channels or switch to channel 3 for the DVR. I don't get any interference from the DVR anymore and it works well for my purposes.

I am using it from antenna to 2 TVs. Product shows it can go both ways, two inputs to one. You should be able to make the switch from your TV screen.

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

There particular digital antennas are intended to give great HD clarity for free; however, you do not need to have a HDTV but DO need to have a digital TV. This antenna will not work with an analog television. You would need to purchase a converter.

Yes it will work fine. IF you have a signal. The problem with digital signals is that it is all or nothing. You get a perfect picture or none at all so you need a good antenna to get enough of a signal to work with.

I run two TVs off of my antenna and I am not using a pre-amp. It works fine for both TVs. However, I can't answer your in-house coaxial system question.

The coax from antenna goes to the input on the box, the other coax goes to input of TV. The other connector on the box is for a second TV. Power on the control box and everything should work.

It connects directly to your coax cable input. I didn't see a need for HDMI input. The picture it receives from local stations are super clear and crisp. With this antenna, you either get a picture (of great quality) or no picture at all, depending on signal strength. This is a great product. I only had trouble with one local channel not receiving (CBS). Other than that, picture and sound on received channels is superb. You can plug this into your TV using the coaxial input, then patch your television sound output to your receiver input. That's the way I do it.

Depending upon how talented you are with electrical wiring and signal spliters, you may only need one digital antenna. I suggest that you try ONE digital antenna connected to ONE signal spliter to which you connect TWO televisions then trying switching channels on both TVs to perceive the results. Remember, not all TV's are configured to connect directly to digital antennas. Therefore, you may not be able to directly connect the digital antenna without an intervening analog to digital converter box.

Yes, it worked great, I have an 82in Mitsubishi TV with a Coaxial and my Sony home theather system have an Optical input. This product worked GREAT, before I found this product I tried everything to connect the two and I keep coming up with an analog signal. This is the only product I could find that would work and give me the Digital signal that I needed for the surround sound amp. I hope one day the TV world and the Surround sound world would get on the same page, but most TVs come with Coaxial out and the new Surround Amps require and Optical input. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT!!!

I don't have mine hooked up to a Smart TV. I did not have the regular connection on my TV as most did, very limited including no option for RCA. I had mine hooked up from my Television Audio Out, headphone jack to RCA Jack input on the unit. You have to kind of look around for how you want to connect it to your TV First. This is not made for modern Televisions unless you do your homework and procure the correct wires ahead of time. Mine was solved with a trip to Radio Shack.

Sorry for not answering sooner. My TV has coaxial OUT and my sound system has digital IN. It won't work in your case. The reason I use this one is that TV has terrible sound and I get OTA programming; so I use my home theater to listen to the TVs sound.

Nope. There is only one plug - one end goes to the antenna - the other end to your TV. Once connected, follow the antenna manual's directions and it will begin "automatically" scanning for all the channels it can receive. Would love to hear how many channels you pull in. :) Best Wishes.

There are splitters out there to make this work. 2 go in and out into house and another spliter on the other end to the tv and satellite. It is called a diplexor and there may be nicer ones than this but heres a link Pack of 2- Holland Dishpro Satellite Diplexer - Dish Approved 2 amp version . This should work so your cable and satellite can live in harmony , so I assume it would work with antenna and then you just have to fight with hdmi cable to pull them both in (with a possible cable converter box) and an hdmi spliter.

This antenna connects with a 75 ohm coax cable. The real problem is that over the air signals are digital and requires your TV set to have a digital tuner; otherwise you would need a converter for this antenna to the best of my knowlage.

Joann, the receiving unit must be plugged into your TV using the two audio and one video jacks (red and white for audio and yellow for video). If your "standard tv" only has the coax input (the one used to screw in the cable or antenna wire) then this will not work without also purchasing a converter. If your TV has the red, white and yellow input jacks, this will work.

Hi J. Johnivan, yes you can using the AUX input. Remember, this does not have the digital audio input, so if your TV has analog audio out (red/white) connections this Sherwood will work just fine.

I know that you can use the yellow composite rca cable on digital coax audio inputs so I dont see why not. Never tried it just something to think about. I have tried the yellow cable on digital audio inputs and it works, the thing that matters with these 2 different connections is the ohms and both have the same requirements.
