I completely agree with W. Worley; this device has nothing to do with TV channels.

Sorry, to get more stations is a subscription matter. HDMI has to do with picture quality. Contact your cable provider and inquire about your digital choices.

No. This device has nothing to do with cable TV channels. All it does is convert component video and digital audio to HDMI.

I used mine on my computer along with a USB digital HD TV convertor. I didn't use it on my HD cable TV. Sorry I can't help you more.

I was able to plug my cable directly into the back of the TV (no converter box was involved) and tune in the channels from the TV. I was able to get all the basic cable channels but not the HD channels.

The broadcast signals are digital so you will need a converter box (digital to analog) no matter the antenna you use. Antenna&gt;Converter Box &gt; TV

I own a Samsung LNB630 and am a Comcast customer. It is hooked up directly via the coaxial cable without a box. I receive the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS) in HD just fine. However, if I want to view most other stations (for example CNN, ESPN, USA, TNT etc.) I must watch on my old analog set hooked up via a Comcast digital converter box.

For your purposes, NO! This device only traps radio frequency signals broadcast over the air and creates an RF signal. That signal must be inserted into the coaxial rf connector only! Hdmi is a processed signal created by a tuner and can not use the rf signal in any way. Apples and orangss here. Two completely different signals that are totally incompatible with each other.Best option is to get the coax input repaired or replaced.

Just add a note, if you run an HMDI cable to the closest TV and a coax to the longer run TV, I have found some HD shows will not play on the coax tv unless you unplug the HMDI.

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.

My house is wired in coax and i broke the coax connection on the back of one of my TV's. But it also has a hdmi connection as well and have been trying to convert from coax to hdmi . I have been told there currently is no solution.

It gives the same resolution on output as it gets on input. I used it for Comcast HD boxes, and all TVs have 16/9 HD picture. They only thing I don't like is that, when you change input of one output, all outputs go black for a few seconds.

Is there a reason that you don't want to use the coaxial input on the TV? The signal from the TV station transmitter is in HDTV format.(1080 DPI) Unless it a monitor TV, then you will have to get a DVT to HDMI converter.

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

I ran coax cable from the antennae mount to the house, some 50 feet away, and split the cable at the house. The coax runs to two different HD tvs at opposite ends of the house. The picture is great on both TVs. I don't know for sure how two more tvs would affect the signal but my guess would be that it would be fine.

NOT TRUE. Many cable companies aka Comcast are switching the majority of their cable lineup to Digital. I used to get channels 02-99 in analog. Comcast is switching channels 31-99 to digital (most of the good stations). Thus, you may need a digital tuner to receive some/all stations depending on your cable provider.

You cannot access digital cable stations with these homemade solutions. You will only access standard non encrypted cable and over the air broadcasts. You could possibly receive over the air HD broadcasts provided you purchased the right cards. However, by the time you buy the 3 video processing cards that would equal the dual tuners (and one for play back), you are looking at several hundred dollards already. The you have to factor in the rest of the computer, the harddrive space, etc.

Eddy, Most HD TVs will pick up the digital signals (older HD "ready" models require a converter box). So, you shouldn't need a converter box to receive the digital signals, just an antenna. This box will not pick up any digital channels without using an antenna as well. However, if you do need a converter box, I would not recommend this one. I had one and it went out after a few months.
