Want Cox cbl and ind ant to 1 TV and not have to scan TV for all channels every time I switch between the two. Possible w/ this device? If so, how?

I have Comcast and two different a-b switchers, both of which will allow the TV to hold its station memory IF you remember that Channel 3 or 4 (whichever your cable box feeds into the set) is the active cable connection. I have no idea what happens if the cable box is HD - using the HDMI connection.

On my TV, when switched to antenna it had to go through and search for all the channels available the first time. After that, it saved the channel numbers and when switching it did not search again.

For me no scan, just the first setup tv, I switch between cable box (regular definition) and air tv (HD).

you have to go to settings' installation, channels and then you change antenna to cable there before start scanning. I am sorry. I am not in front of my TV right now to give you precisely the steps. Good luck.

For anyone who's interested, I am now able to record one channel on my dvd recorder while watching another channel on the same tv. I have Comcast On Demand (box sits on top of the tv; see my post above) and after talking to the Comcast guy, was informed that we were entitled to two more dta converter boxes free of charge from Comcast. I picked them up last week and hooked one of them up on the same tv that my Comcast On Demand box is used. I followed the directions linked below to hook it up. It was pretty easy. I only hooked up one of the dta boxes and used the cable from the unused one on that hookup. You may need to purchase additional coaxial cables. This didn't take too long to hook up once the box was activated. It's just a matter of following the directions and diagram. NOTE: If you decide to do this, connect the cable from the wall to the dta box, then connect the dta box to the tv, plug in the dta to an outlet THEN call Comcast (or whoever your cable company is) and have them activate the dta box. Once activiated, follow the directions linked below to hook everything up so you can watch one channel while recording on another. Seems ridiculous to me that you have to go to these lengths to do this but that's how digital technology works I guess. Good luck. http://hometheater.about.com/od/dvdrecorderfaqs/f/dvdrecgfaq3a.htm http://tv.about.com/od/frequentlyaskedquestions/a/watchrecorddtv.htm http://z.about.com/d/tv/1/0/y/2/watchrecordDTVbox.jpg (this is a close up of the diagram in the above link)

IF what you are asking for is combine two signals that already carry UHF/VHF into one feed, I used a Wineguard CC-7870 ( Winegard CC-7870 Antenna Coupler ) to combine two Clearstream C2V ( ClearStream 2V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 60 Mile Range ) antennas pointed at different broadcast locations. Keep the cables near equal length for best results.

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??

Yes. When you go into the "Menu" after doing the initial channel scan, you can add/delete channels afterward. There are on-screen instructions to show you how. I know this because I use these to delete all the Spanish language, religious and duplicate stations from my viewing lineup.

You can, but Dont think that they can all run independently at the same time. I have dish on 4 TV's and to achieve this Dish gave me a second Hopper. The second hopper didn't cost me anything more, it's about 7 dollars per TV.

This is a splitter, which will only branch the same image to both of your TVs. What you're looking for is an HDMI Switcher that has one HDMI in and 2 HDMI outs. Switchers come with a button or switch on the box that usually change the setting between sending out through port 1 or port 2, and sometimes come with the option of both ports or neither port. Switchers can also be found with remote controls. I have a Sewell Direct Ibis, which I believe will do exactly what you want, although it does not come with a remote control. The Ibis is also available in a 1x3 if that interests you more than the 1x2. I hope this helps.

You only need one for the Hopper. This will allow all the devices to access OTA channels

You need one per TV. Splitting the feed will reduce signal strength to each TV set, and you won't receive all of the channels that you should.

Hook first tv with hdmi or audio video then run coax to second but if you arevhoping to watch separate channels on both tv you wont be able to

Yes, but I find that you must be sure that the receiver is set to: CBL/SAT, if that is the HDMI port you are running your cable box. I use the receiver for internet radio and must remember to make the change before I turn off the amp or I will need to turn on the amp and make the change if I want to watch TV with the TV speakers. Hope this helps!

Two PC's to one monitor? Yes. You just switch which channel for each PC you want to view.

In using this I found the best setup is the cable feed enters the house. Put in a 2-way splitter. One leg of the splitter run directly to the cable modem (I have Comcast), run the other leg of the two way splitter into this Booster. From this booster run to a single splitter with enough ports to supply all your televisions. If you have unused ports put terminators on them. I used this splitter from the Motorola Amp to my televisions Calrad 75-713-8 8-Way 1GHz Digital Splitter. They make smaller splitters, but this one had the amount of ports I needed. If you use multiple splitters you degrade your signal a lot, that's why one large splitter with all home runs of cable is best. Good luck.

This may not help much, but if you have a decent cable provider you might consider having them hook it up for you. I have Cox cable, and they only charged me $12 to come out and hook up a new TV and DVD. Technology advanced beyond my capabilities a few years ago, much easier to let professionals do it, and the cable company tends to do it cheaper than (for example) Geek Squad, just FYI, hope this helps.

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

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.
