My new cable box which is just for basic cable channels has only an HDMI output to get HD channels. Will this work? Also coax for std def.

Hauppauge Colossus Model 1414 has the following Input/output connections: HDMI Input, A/V (Component) Input, Optical Audio In, A/V (Component Out) pass through, Optical Audio (Out) pass through and IR Blaster. It does not have a coax connection. However, I believe the HDMI connection will bring in HD and Standard definition content.

HDMI is a **digital** communications standard that transmits audio as well as video in a single cable. The essence of the Colossal board is analog; i.e., component cabling (red-blue-green, plus red and white-coded audio). The board has an HDMI input, which the all-too-brief manual concisely states is for unencrypted input from game devices. Whether that could be used for input from a cable box, perhaps, would be best answered by Hauppauge. For my unfavorable review of the board, see the review by Bill_IT dated 5/5/2014.

No you cannot. It is just a radio that transmits the single hdmi output signal from your cable box. It cannot transmit the multiple signals from your coaxial.

It does have an hdmi input so if you have a cable box that has HDMI output then yes you can. It does not have a coaxial connection.

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.

IT will have the black bar when you are watching HD tv on your cable box. Go down to the lower channels on your box and it will be fine

I have an HD cable box and notice no difference when changing channels between HD and regular stations. I hopes that answers your question.

it has only VGA, DVI and HDMI inputs, so if your cable box uses hdmi as its output, then you can watch TV on it but in most cases no it cant

If I were you I'd first make sure that your monitor supports HDCP. Otherwise it's probably not going to work. If it does support it, it will be a simple plug and play HOWEVER you will need a surround sound or some similar a/v system to output your audio to. most monitors do not have a way to play sound at all. Most cable boxes have component out (red/white plugs basic audio) and optical audio (smallish square port with flap that has best audio).

I bought this kit Klein Tools VDV002-818 Coax Installation and Testing Kit, from Amazon. The connectors are F-type. Works great with HD. Whatever connectors u buy, u will probably need a special crimp tool. This kit is perfect. Good luck. Enjoy

If you are referring to a coaxial cable from your cable tv provider, then no, it doesn't. I initially purchased this unit because I accidentally broke the cable tuner on my LCD when removing it from the wall. I thought I could use this product as a workaround, but couldn't because it doesn't accept the cable tv coaxial cable line. It doesn't fit. Had to return it. If you are trying to achieve what I think you may be trying to achieve, then you need an external tuner or demodulator. Type in "All in 1 CATV coax to hdmi converter" and you are going to see the exact same product on the top three listings on the search results page. The prices will range from $136 to $218.

I believe the coax signal input into your tv is for RF (radio frequency) signal, either from an antenna or cable tv service. As such, this device (DVI output) will not work for your application.

Yes the cable box normally has another output but typically only one hdmi. You can use the component outs (the red, green, blue).I have comcast hddvr and run the hdmi to my onkyo 805 for dvd, ps3, and other times I want big sound and video experience. I use the direct selection with the component into the hdtv for simplier viewing times.

MicheleIf your cable box is like mine you only need the HDMI cable only to send the signal to the TV, It handles the audio and the video. also choose the source on the remote control for the Tv. good luck . Mike

Should work OK with any standard definition coax input. Contrary to some advertisements, this does not have HDMI inputs and is not a true HDTV.

On my Philips BDP2100 Blu-Ray player it has both HDMI and RCA Video output. I can see no coax out whatsoever. In my opinion, HDMI provides the best output.

Dear Mary O.. One more thing I forgot to mention, if your cable box is connected via an HDMI cable make sure you pick HDMI for an input, not CABLE as these are two different connectors..

the TV works with coax cable but requires some sort of converter to get a digital signal - preferraly an HD signal. Without a great signal you will not get a great picture. A mediocre/poor signal may look worse when it is expanded to a 65" screen
