You can connect a second tv to 1 cable box by purchasing a video distribution amp (VDA) I think the smallest one you can buy is 1 input ( cable box connection ) 4 outputs ( 4 TV Connections. ) The only catch is that you have to watch the same channel on both TV's. VDA's are easy to hook up and relatively inexpensive, you can probably find one for less than $80 maybe even cheaper depending what type of connection you desire...

You need to connect an HDMI cable to both your TV and Cable box using the HDMI ports. Ensure your TV is switched to HDMI mode as the source, and you are ready to go!

You have cable box DVD wsurround sound all connected to tv you want to add the vcr to this and be able to tape from cable what is the best way to connect the vcr in with the rest should you run coax?

You unhook the connection from the cable box to the TV and connect it to the VCR input. You purchase a short cable and install it from the VCR output to where the cable was connected to the TV. The TV will get the cable box signal through the VCR with no problem when you are not using the VCR. If the cable box was connected to the surround sound or Home Theater and then the TV then connect the cable box to the VCR and then the surround sound or home theater.

Your freeview box has one connection for cable but your sky plus has double cable how do you connect?

Your freeview box should connect to the TV Ariel on the top of your house. The Sky + cables connect to the Sky dish on the side of your house and will not work with your freeview box. If you have Sky there is nothing on freeview that you can not already get on Sky (even if you do not have a sky card).

Connect its input to the output of a cable box and DVR's output to your television. If you don't have a cable / satellite set-top box, and your DVR has a built-in TV tuner, connect its input to a coax cable from your wall (raw cable feed) or a TV antenna (over the air reception), and DVR's output to your television, then scan for available channels.

How can I connect both from the wall cable and antenna wire to my HD TV My cable provider offers a low cost 10-12 dollars a month plan I dont want to rent cable box or use a manual switch?

The antennan wire on your HDTV will connect to the back of the television set, if it is antenna compatible. The wall cable will go to the audio in location where you connect the coaxial cable. A digital antenna converter box will be needed to make the television work without a true digital signal coming into the home.


Starting from an HDTV cable box using a split cable going to the pip output can you connect another tv to the pip output and get an HDTV picture on the other tv?

Hi, It really depends on your PIP output on the cable box and whether or not the output is HDTV or standard TV. And in some cases, the PIP output will only display non-HDTV channels, depending again, on the box and the cable company. However, IF the cable company says that a HDTV signal is available from the PIP output on the cable box, then it'll probably work. The only way to be sure is to connect a TV and find out. Hope this helps, Cubby
