Will this work on my cable box that is behind the TV? Cable box is Scientific Atlanta.

Our cable box is in a closet in the hall behind the tv and it works without any problem as long as the batteries are charged good.

yes it will but the adhesive on them is weak. Use electrical tape over it and you are good to go

It should. I use the one that came with the base unit and it works great with my cable box. The led bulb just needs to be placed in front of the IR on the cable box.

The seller has a list of all the cable boxes it works with as well as a list of some that do not work. I think it will work with any tv that is controlled by a cable box that uses infrared remote signal.

will work with sony tv . no listing for "Optimum " cable box. it does have a code search function tho. or use the 800 number for help

you hook it up to the audio out on the tv, it should work normally, it does not have anything to do with the signal from cable or satellite.

Hi- I looked in the owner's manual to see if "Optimum"is listed under Cable Boxes, it's not. If I knew who the manufacturer of their box is (may be written on the box itself), I could see if codes for that manufacturer are listed, a good indicator that it would work. Let me know and I'll look. Leigh

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

I'm not sure it matters, as long as you have a USB port to power the sensor. If you can find your cable box sensor by covering it up with your thumb, then that's where you tape down the the signal repeater

Hi Geraldine, Yes it should work with your Cable Box providing it has a HDMI input which most Cable Boxes these days do. I would find it very surprising if it didn't have a HDMI outlet. If for some reason it doesn't we will refund your purchase 100% with no questions asked. I hope I answered your question. Thank you.

It will should on any TV. . However, will not work if TV is connected to a cable box of any kind.

It should be perfect for that use. I have a cable box hooked up to an old TV and it works great.

No, this unit only works on existing cable services. It basically would replace the set top box that the cable company would rent you.

I'm pretty sure it will work for the TV and the cable box as there are program codes for those, but under audio I do not see any program codes for Vizio. The cool thing about this remote is it can learn from other remotes (although I have never personally done this) so that might be an option if there is no specific code to use. The first option is also the quick set-up, so maybe you wouldn't even have to use the programing codes or the learning capability, it might just read your system.

Yes, as long as your cable box has the RCA out jacks for the composite video and left and right audio, as almost all of them do nowadays. This unit has the input RCA jacks for these connections.

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.

I thought of doing the same thing, and it would work. But, you would only be able to use your cable box remote with the tv that has the cable box close to it. Cable boxes use infra red to communicate with the remote, so you need direct line of sight from box to remote. If you had tv in living room and tv in bedroom on same cable box, the remote would only work where ever cable box is located.

this remote is programmable, so you should be able to get it to run most other things. I programed it to work both my TV and my home theater system. I don't have a cable box but I would assume you could control that too.

I believe it depends on how new your television is. My television wasn't very new and it did not work that way. But if your television has built-in HDMI also it should work.
