I want to help my 94 yr old visually impaired father in Montreal, Canada. Will this work there for a Bell cable box and TV?

Sorry Living in the US not sure about Bell, my mother is using a cable system and the remote worked without any issues!

I bought this for my Mom who is in a nursing home. It worked fine for their cable system. Unfortunately now her dementia is progressed too far. She no longer used it but it is a very nice remote. Hope this helps

It will work, it will take some time to set up. It is not easy, if your a novice don't spend the time or money. There are other ways. Some cable companies allow you to control your cable box over the net. I also have the belkin @tv it allows me to control the cable box and watch it also. If you need to control more ir devices than cable box the above ir box will work, just need to invest the time.

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

Yes, that's how mine us setup. Make sure to check the manufacturer's website for compatability with your specific cable box.

There are two specs for this kind of audio--optical and coaxial. The optical terminal is flat on three sides and curved on the fourth side. If both your TV and cable box have such inputs, this cable will work fine (although this particular one is only 3 feet long, I think). Coax inputs look more like normal RCA inputs (round)-if your digital connectors are coax this cable won't work for you. Best I can tell you without seeing your setup!

It should work if your tv has AV out ports, you can check by hooking up an older tv to it; note that the quality of the EZgrabber isn't fantastic, but it's good for preserving your old home movies and things.

There are codes in the instruction booklet for direct tv so I would suppose it would work just like it does for my cable box.

Call your cable company to activate it and make sure it is compatible with the cable system

Provided you have the digital converter box that is now needed to pick up local TV Stations this should work fine. At TVofyourlife.com we are always glad to help.

I would assume it should, I would check with your cable provider to be sure. I have Comcast in my area and they advised me that as long as it has two-way signal capability it should work. I did my layout so it would work with the cable modem and the tv set boxes that Comcast has us use. I needed the signal booster to get a better signal to the back of the house so the one tv would keep from getting a channel box error from a weak signal. Hope this helps.

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.

As long as you have a tv thar you can connect the red, yellow, and white cords to it should work. I have an old box tv and it doesn't give me any trouble

Digital cable will not work. If your cable provider offers analog cable (that does not require a box), this should work fine. Just make sure that in the settings you tell it to look for "Cable" not "Air". Many cable companies no longer offer this service.

It is my understanding that this device, and I have no reason to doubt it, will convert a digital signal to a 'conventional' signal which is needed for some of our older devices that do not accept 'digital' signal ... I would say this would work for you if your cable device emits 'digital' sound outputs and you want to hook up this to a sound bar etc., that does not accept a digital signal ... works great for me!

It should, the list of TV's it works with is rather extensive, and its simple enough that my elderly mom and disabled sister can use it.

It doesn't work with my Mom's cable box, only her TV. It is very easy for her though.

AS with cable you need today the Digital to Analog converter box then yes will work
