Just confirming: I can have my cable box in one room and my TV in another room completely without ANY wires from the TV connected to the Cable box?

Depending on the Distance and number/type of walls, yes. I think in most home situations it will work. I am using in the same room. They do make a unit with greater range, but based on other reviews I think I would try this one.

The prime offers a 30 foot line of site in room wireless HDMI solution. If you are going from one room to another I would recommend using the Aries Pro (NPCS550). The transmitters connects to your source devices HDMI output and wirelessly broadcasts that signal to the receiver which is connected to the HDMI input on your display.

That would transmit an outgoing signal from your tv set (if it even has OUT ports) to be received by your cable box. Can't imagine why you would do that. Plugging it into the OUT on your cable box and receiving it at the TV will allow you to eliminate the wires from the cable box to the tv and allow you to keep them a greater distance apart, or perhaps even in different rooms.

Hi, it was relatively easy to hook up and I'm never comfortable doing this sort of thing. I had set the tv set up with the cable box and didn't get a chance to do much more as the red line appeared on the screen. When I couldn't get rid of the red line I had to unplug and pack it up. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Nelci, If I were to set it up this way would the tv pass the signal thru as if it was coming directly from the cable box? Would it lose it's 5.1 (or any other audio code) signal going thru the TV and out to the receiver? Jack

I'm sorry but that will not work. The cable box would have it's own separate remote, and the remote you are looking at buying is only intended to be programmed for one device (I.e. TV only, NOT tv and cable box). So it would really only work with an antenna or direct-line cable (a cable that goes from wall directly to TV with no box in between) that you would normally change the channels with only the TV remote.

You shouldn't need to use any other cable to get it to work with your TV. To answer your question, Yes there is enough room for both cable to be hooked up.

I believe it is because the cable box is "always on". So even if you turn it off or not the receiver still thinks it is on so it doesn't switch back to it because it doesn't receive a new signal to switch to. This is my understanding anyway. Not sure if there is a workaround for this.

Sort of. Yes, the cable box will be gone but you will need a cable card from your ISP.

Throughout the room - not through the wires. It recommends having them in different rooms

At least with our set up, if the cable box is turned off, so is the internet connection. Also, when you virtually unplug the cable box it needs to reset itself and take about 5 minutes to reload all the program/channel information. With this power cord "off" is more than off, it's virtually unplugged.

absolutely not, this is an internet router and has nothing at all to do with cable tv, except for the fact my internet comes threw the tv cable line from time warner, i dont even have a tv, just a computer and monitor. the cable companies have you over the barrel you have to buy or rent a box for each additional tv.

I'm an Old School holdout. Never had cable, never will. There's enough on broadcast TV to distract me from real life. Odd you should ask this question. To answer, YES. I had an old giant CRT running off an Insignia DTV box without any problems right up to the day the tuner in the TV went belly up. I retained the DTV box to feed my VCR (Yes, I still have several of those) and added the Vizio with a splitter. The Vizio did not like this arrangement and refused to accept some channels. I finally had to feed the Vizio from another antenna outlet across the room. This solved the problem (mostly) but I have an annoying coax cable running through the bedroom. Depending on the weather the picture and sound will break up at times. If it really gets unbearable I watch the programming through the DTV box that far outperforms the Vizio direct tuner. Unfortunately this arrangement only allows a reduced screen and fuzzy captions. In my opinion the tuner capture capability of the Vizio is borderline and a real disappointment. I'm running a roof mount antenna in a suburban area.

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.

Yes, for example I have an Xbox on both tvs in two sepperate rooms. Which negates having 2 xboxs, cause your simply doubling the output

the sensor might not be exactly situation on your cable box sensor. It happens all the time.

Well, I can get several local TV stations without a cable box. I removed the Verizon box and it picks up about 20 stations. And they come in better without the box.

you should be able to do that. My mother's tv is straight cable,no vcr or cable box.
