If your cable box supports HDMI, yes. But you'd be better off getting an actual TV which features switchable inputs and channels.

If the cable box has composite output ports(red white and yellow plug) and the TV has them that your hooking up to wirelessly then yes. However **I only did this with my DirecTV not cable box, and it worked fine except I couldn't change channels from the back room. Good luck.

Hello John, I am able to plug in the cable cord and watch TV. however, the sound is incredibly loud and we cannot turn it down. I was informed that I have to purchase a digital converter box for the sound to work properly.

Yes, if you only want to use this for watching Netflix/Amazon Prime, Pamdora etc you will not need another cable box. If you want to watch live TV, you will need to either get a cable/Sat box or get a digital OTA antenna .

If your cable box only has a COAX cable connection to the TV then you can't connect it to the Sony. Its input for Cable or satellite is HDMI only.

You can hook it up to the cable box with a standard HDMI cable; nothing special is required

There was a power supply that plugs into the wall but has a threaded coax connector. Your will need a piece of coax with F-type female connectors on each end (essentially the same as you would use to connect your cable box to your TV) to connect the power supply to the unit.

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.

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.

I had to plug it directly into the cable box. Sorry to say I had problems with this device and ended up sending it back for a refund.

If you are referring to a cable or satellite box, then yes (if you want to receive a digital signal). If not, then no (your antenna should suffice). However, you can download streaming apps directly to the TV if you have either a wired or wireless internet connection.

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.
