As long as your TVS has and optical input, the soundbar will respond to any device which is hooked up to TV. The optical cord is connected to from the TV to the soundbar. I hope this helps.

There is a cord that is supplied with this sound bar that plugs directly into the back of your tv.

The TV has all the standard inputs. So connecting to cable should not be a problem.

yes its easy. if you get it via your isp, they normally come with a step by step cd. if not, you can connect it directly to your cable provider coax cable. my unit has the password and SSID on the back of the box. you can use that and just use it as is and skip the setup

It depends on the internet connect you have. In addition, you may need to get a cable card from your cable provider.

Yes. Its very easy just hook the HDMI cable to your TV and hook the Directv cable to the box and plug it in. You will need to call Directv to get it authorized before it can be used. It does cost the extra set fee per month, but it doesn't use a slot on your Directv box.

Yes it will connect directly, there is nothing you will have to install. Right click your network icon and connect to the available network.

No. you cannot plug your cable directly into this. if you have a cable box with an HDMI output you can plug that into this unit to send to your TV.I believe the two input types are HDMI and VGA.

I connect a standard def Directv box to it and have no issues. Works great.

Yes. I emailed Sennheiser tech support with the same question and they assured me that you can connect directly to the cable box and the sound is not affected at all. By the way Sennheiser tech is wonderful! You can email them with any questions and they respond in a matter of hours rather than days.

I had to plug it directly into the cable box. Sorry to say I had problems with this device and ended up sending it back for a refund.

I have mine hooked up through Apple TV and it does all that you asked. Not sure about a direct connection.

I don't have cable tv, so I really don't know what kind of connection is needed for a cable box, so I can't answer the question -- sorry!

yes... you have to let Direct TV know before it will work.. I tried hooking it up before calling and it did not work

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.
