Easy to follow along demonstration of How to Connect a Cable Box to TV using HDMI. We show you Step by Step, follow our quick guide for hooking up your TV cable.
Thank you so much for your clear instructions. My Dad, who is 101 years television, started cutting off right in the middle of the white sox game. After trying everything, I knew I found your video and was able to get the cable box working. Again thanks
Thank you for the clear instructions. This is what I thought I had to do. I am hoping it works. I know I am at a cable outlet because this is where my old TV was and this TV was a gift and it is new that is why I needed the instructions on the HDMI cable. I am only getting one channel though? I am thinking that has to be good? I recognize the channel from my cable package so that has to be a good sign but I can't change channels. Any ideas why?
Oh gosh. I'm old and alone with a brand new 50" Vizio. I managed everything but this. You saved my son from having to drive 30 minutes to me. For that we both are grateful. 🙂
I cannot find original power cord for 5 year old lg tv. Can I purchase a generic? ALSO, I have a cord with 3 colors on both ends. Do I need them or are they not necessary with HDMI? I REALLY appreciate any and all help possible. We used this tv and stored it 4 years and can only find misc cords and I have no idea where they go! Thanks a million! I'm SO low tech I'll research how to locate your response... just so you know how explicit I need instruction! 😅
I just had a 3 end tv wire. Talked to Comcast did everything they said. New box new controller. Now when they said we had no signal from my box they suggested to have a tech come out for $70. Then I told them no way I would figure it out. So I looked at the tv back and tv box. I found out there was a different slot in both tv and box. Then I watched your demo and say I was right and I could have been ripped off. Thank you for showing me I was right.
I know alot about technology. All I did was put cable in the back of box then put the cable to wall. Then use HDMI for box to tv. Then select the input the HDMI is on.
plugin fire stick to cable HDMI Rondo Schiavoni QUESTION ???? Just now this sounds good because I need the optical out from my-cable box to my sound bar but [ how do you choose from cable box to Fire Stick? ]
After you connect cable box to receiver, how to connect receiver to TV? I don’t have Atmos or ARC. 4 HDMI ports plus optical audio on receiver and TV. Thx
Hi friend thank you for this video but please help me out. The thing is my brother is cheap lol & doesn’t want to call DISH to install an HDMI cable to my father in laws TV. The thing is my father in laws TV is really fuzzy & there’s really no good clear picture on the TV because it’s using an Antenna cable meaning the cable dish has. Can I use your setup to connect the DISH Antenna to connect an HDMI Cable to connect to my father in laws TV so his TV won’t be fuzzy & he can get that clear picture? Please help.
We did connect HDMI from the Internet/Cable box to the TV , Do we still need to connect LAN from TV to the cable box? and what is that connect for? Thank
My problem is that I have Dish hopper cable box.The connections from the hopper is to big to fix in the high def in the back of the t.v.so I don't know how to connect
I have a question my HDMI to my kids broken so I do have an HDMI one port but when I hooked into my Xfinity box nothing shows up on the TV but a black screen even when I flip the TV to HDMI one still nothing why can I not connected to an HDMI one instead of an HDMI two?
Oh my God that was so easy I’ve done it 100 times I want to know if you can take it and plug it from the TV to the cable box out from the PlayStation to the cable box in
Why when I change the source to hdmi1 does the screen go blue and says dvi1? My cable company had set this up so I could switch source from roku to cable. It worked fine. I've been streaming on roku for months. Well I decided to try to watch TV and I kept getting no signal. I looked behind the TV and saw one end of the hdmi cable from the cable box to the TV. I plugged it in but keep getting this dvi1 source.
DVI does “not” carry audio (sound). Reading in your comment post that your TV is showing the term “DVI” suggests an older TV and/or cable box not set up fully correctly. We are assuming you are selecting the correct HDMI input on your TV and that the cable box isn’t connected to a different HDMI port (?)
Hi may Foxtel Box is older and the cable to box and to TV was stolen by a guest. I have been to JBHi-Fi and tried two DisplayPort HDMI Fusion 4 K Cable but they will not connect to the Foxtel Box. I went to Telstra where I get Foxtel and they said they had no cables. I have taken photos of the box and the TV connection. Can you give me any advice. Wendy
Hi hoping you can help I'm looking for a device to hook up an older tv to s new cable box . The older tv only has a coaxial connection but the cable box is HDMI .So think I'm looking for a device that has a coaxial cable that is coaxial on one end and HDMI on the other if you can help with this I would appreciate it
Your cable company may be able to supply you a cable box having an F connector output. The connector you are describing on your tv is an F connector (threaded coaxial cable connector)
Do you happened to know if the hdmi input connection for the LG Oled must be plugged into ONLY the back of the TV (hdmi input) to establish the connection with the cable box or can I use one of the side hdmi ports?
You can use the side port; however, not all HDMI ports are equivalent in their capabilities. If after you connect to the side port and you notice you not getting the performance you were “expecting” then maybe use a labeled port on the rear panel. But, our opinion is.... hooking up to the side you will likely be just fine. Thanks for watching our video and asking.
I am trying to connect Spectrum Internet ONLY.-no TV or Phone, just Internet. There is only an HDMI Cable in the kit. There is an HDMI outlet in the wall. Where do I plug the RJ45 end of the HDMI cable?
Question: My Roku box is connected to one HDMI port on my Samsung, the cable box is connected via coaxial cable; the picture quality from the cable box is terrible, so I was thinking of connecting it via the other HDMI port. The problem is that port is labeled HDMI eARC--can I still use it for the cable input?
Pick up your TV remote control, the remote control that came with your TV when you purchased your TV. On that remote find a button “Input” or “Source” and press that button and let go of the button. If no picture appears on your TV repeat the process until a picture appears in your TV
I have coax in to box and coax out to one tv and hdmi out to another tv. No sound to coaxed tv. used to work but after hooking up new tv no sound to old tv.

That looks like a standard HDMI port on the cable box. And you've used a HDMI+Ethernet cable, and not a plain HDMI only cable.
Do you have a video on how to connect a tv, cable box and receiver with HDMI cables.
