I'm trying to connect my DTV over-the-air converter box to an unused computer monitor, to use it as an extra TV, will this cable work?

If the converter box is using component out, no, this will not work. You would need a small box that converts component to VGA like http://amzn.com/B009GUQYBO or http://amzn.com/B0014BL9PO.

Well I bought this to connect to my computer monitor screen, let's put it this way, if the cable box does not have a DVI than don't buy it, but just so you know, even if it does have a DVI input, that still might not work, it might not read it. Goodluck

I have used this cable to go from an hdmi source to a dvi monitor. I am currently using it from a dvi source to an hdmi screen. It basically just has the pin out mapped to work either direction. If you have a dvi connection on one end and an hdmi on the other it should work. In my case it even carries sound!

Yes! Obviously you'll need to dial back the output on the one that goes to the powered monitor. RCA-&gt;1/8inch stereo cable should do the trick.

This cable should work with any monitor/display which has an analog input, yes. Typically, modern displays have both DVI and analog, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Nope. Wish it would. If older reviews are still available there is one that suggests a very limited use for this cable. HDMI is a digital audio and video signal and needs a digital to analog conversion with synchronization of the audio to the video. A cable can't do that. It requires digital signal processing to do the conversion. The cheapest way to do that is buy a digital TV. There are converters, but they cost way more than the converter box to convert HDTV to NTSC analog.

If your tv has a DVI input & the coax you're referring to is digital coax for sound, then yes it will work.

It would work if your computer has a TV tuner card or a USB TV tuner device. Otherwise, no. There's no way to connect it to your cable box - the only inputs are a standard 15-pin DSUB VGA input and a DVI input. It will only connect to a computer, and the only way to route the cable TV signal through your computer is using a TV tuner device.

I don't think it will work I would go to best buy and get a converter box, this cable was a waste of money for me!!

I highly doubt this will solve the issue, since what it does is only to convert HD quality from the HDMI to RCA, this sounds more like the cable doesn't work or you need another type of HDMI cable with more capacity, I would recommend going to radio shack

honestly it will depend if your computer has the same size hdmi port as your tv does. I have a computer at home that has a video card in it that has the smaller a size output , this cable would not work for that. But i have purchased a cable that does work for it at this link -> AmazonBasics High-Speed Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable - 9.8 Feet (3 Meters) - Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return . the easiest thing you could do is look at the port on your computer and your tv, if they are the same size, buy this cable, if the computer one is smaller, than use the link i pasted in this message... good luck. honestly it will depend if your computer has the same size hdmi port as your tv does.

My cable box has one composite video port (yellow) and one mono audio port(white), would this converter work? And if so, what cables would I need?"

From my experience from my application of this cable, I wouldn't trust it. Try looking for a converter box. It will cost more, but I'm more then positive it will work for what you need.

Yes it will. Hooked one up 6 weeks ago and it works great with my older HDTV that could not handle Diredtv's HDMI signal.

Most likely not; the cable had an extra 4 pins for analog signal (yes, on the DVI end). If your monitor has DVI-I (which I am certain it does) it physically won't even fit. This should be used for a DVI-I output (generally on dedicated graphics cards) to a VGA port.

I assume you are referring to using your HDMI port on the TV? If that is the case, it will work if you buy one of these to convert the analog signal. Tmvel mini RCACVS 3 RCA Composite Video AV to HDMI Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-Ray DVD

If you have an empty USB port, then this will work. I hooked up a monitor from my Dell laptop and it works fine.
