Is it possible to watch 2 different channels digital from cable TV on each TV ? Even if they are coded channels ?

The purpose of the Video kit is to allow watching the SAME show on TWO different televisions. It is not to allow watching DIFFERENT shows on multiple TV's.

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, I do it all the time. I have three sets connect to Verizon Fios but it would apply to any cable service. To watch three different programs on three different sets you must have 3 cable adapters but NOT with this Wireless... this system does NOT include the transmitters so I am sending it back.

I do not believe that would work. Both receivers send a single backchannel to the transmitter, and the input to transmitter is same. There is only one output to channel box from all units in a system.

The other answers are correct... however it is possible to use two transmitters simultaneously, each one fed by a receiver/tuner that each provide an hdmi signal. Each receiver will show both transmitters (it is possible to name them for easy recognition) and you can easily switch between transmitters. With only one transmitter unit you get one signal at a time.

No. The same channel would be on any TV connected with ActionTec Receivers.

No you cannot. It is just a radio that transmits the single hdmi output signal from your cable box. It cannot transmit the multiple signals from your coaxial.

No it would not be. The only way to possible do this is from an outside antenna + a cable box, then you could select one fromanother. Remember any device that is wireless is problematic....especially wifi.

If your TVs are not "digital ready", meaning they have a converter built in, you'll need one for each TV that isn't ready. You can buy a splitter to use one converter for multiple TVs but each TV will have to watch the same channel. Many newer TVs already have this built in.

I have my DVR set up with two inputs . One with the cable wire coming from the cable box into the antenna connection, the other using the red/white/yellow audio/video out from the converter box to the audio/video in on the DVR. I can record a channel coming through the digital source while watching a separate channel on the TV through the other input. If you want to record a scrambled channel where the converter box is required, you'll have to watch that channel. Change the source button on the remote from DTV ( the digital source ) to L1, the converter box signal for non over the air signals. I haven't tried watching the digital signal while recording from the converter box. I'll try and get back to you. I have my DVR set up with two inputs .

As far as 3 different channels, no. You can have 2 on the same channel and one on another.

No. Cable only allows one program at a time. Hope this helped you.The previous answers were correct.

yes you can, but this device has 4 inputs and 2 outputs meaning you could hook it up to 4 cable boxes but you can only display it on 2 tvs, so i don't thinks it's what you are looking for

No, You can record directly from your cable TV, however the unit will only record digital broadcast channels.

yes we can watch one channel and record another. and we love our magnavox. so if you want to watch another program while recording, use input through tv antenna.

This does not connect directly to your TV. I plugs into a computer which you could then hook up to a TV through multiple methods. If you already knew that then yes, you can watch one show while another is recording.

No, you must use a cable card from your cable provider. With the cable card you will receive the digital channels you are subscribed to. I have been using the 4 channel receiver now for at least one year and it works great.

Yes you will watch regular analog programs, just make sure you have an digital antennae to plug into analog box for channel programming when you set it up for channel search (auto program of channels).

Only 2 tv sets. One is hooked by hdmi cable to the transmitter and the second one is hooked to the receiver and both see the same channel selected in your source like directv for example.

Sabrina, the answer to that question will depend entirely on the region you live in. The channels would be the same network broadcast that you would have received before the digital switch. The additions will be network spinoffs and UHF.

you might need an rca Y adapter for both channels if you want to get best usage ... check if you are plugged into the audio output of the TV or the audio output of the cable box would be better

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.

It has a function to search channels, and once they are found, you can use rather the remote control or the TV buttons to navigate them.Depends where you are locate or the service you have hired it will be the amount of channels you will have. all the channels will be found are going to be digital. In my country - Costa Rica - I get 4 which are digital. There channels analogs are not shown at all.

You CAN'T. The DTA-800B1 does NOT work for cable television. It only is capable of receiving and decoding over-the-air digital broadcast television channels (a format called "ATSC"), not cable channels (using a format called "QAM").
