Connecting the coax cable (from the wall) to my tv instead of box?

I was told this:
Though I though in order for the set top box to work you need the coax plugged into the box?

Danice: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung technical support. How may I assist you?
David: Hi the UN40F6400AFXZA tv how do I use the tv function? I have the HDMI cable in the tv to the set top box but when I hit the tv option on source using my remote all I get is "white snow"?
Danice: I would be happy to assist you with the instructions to change the source on the TV.
Danice: What are the devices connected to the TV?
David: no I think you mis understand me.
David: Hi the UN40F6400AFXZA tv how do I use the tv function? I have the HDMI cable in the tv to the set top box but when I hit the tv option on source using my remote all I get is "white snow"?
David: am I talking to a robot or a real person?
Danice: I am sorry for the confusion.
Danice: You are chatting with a Live Person.
Danice: I would be happy to assist you with the information about the TV source on the TV.
David: ok
Danice: The TV source on the TV is nothing but the cable from the wall or antenna connected to the coaxial port on the TV.
Danice: You should connect an antenna or cable from the wall to this port and perform the auto programming through Menu options to get the display.
David: oh the cable from the wall goes to the cable box though?
Danice: No, this port is only for the cable from the wall directly to the coaxial port on the TV.
David: I'm confused cause my cable provider says the cable from the wall goes into the coax on the set top box? So how would the set top box work without the coax plugged in?
Danice: I will clarify that for you.
Danice: The Coaxial port on the TV will work only for the air channels like Antenna or cable from the wall and this is not applicable for the cable by the service provider you are referring to.
David: ok
David: also my other question is UN40F6400AFXZA dose it support Audio Return HDMI?
Danice: I will check that for you.
Danice: Yes, the HDMI 2 is the ARC port on the TV.
David: awesome how do I set it up?
Danice: Yes, follow the instructions mentioned in the link below to use the ARC feature:

Danice: Are you able to access the link?
David: yes thank you

The Verizon signal is delivered via coas to the set-top box which allows you to get all of the channels you subscribe to. You then hook the STB your TV (recommended via HDMI in your case since you have an HD set with HDMI inputs). The coax signal must be supplied to both your STB and your router.
If you plug your coax directly into you TV and do a channel scan, you will only recieve local channels (and a couple of others) because all other channels are encrypted and require an STB (or a cable card with an appropriate device) to decode.

How do I connect my Time Capsule directly to the internet cable from the wall?

My Time Capsule only works if I connect it to my wireless router with a LAN cable. But, when I plug the cable from the wall directly into the Time Capsule, it just blinks orange. What am I not doing right?

There is no modem in the TC.. you need a modem.. your wireless router is actually a modem router.. not just a modem.. so it could be replaced with a straight modem.. sometimes.. it can be bridged .. sometimes..
But you still haven't told us enough.. what broadband do you have?
What model is the existing modem router? How does it authenticate to the ISP?
Once we know those things we can suggest further options.

My FIOS TV only uses the Coax cable not the HDMI cable

I can only get my STB to use the coax cable to my TV, I want it to use the HDMI cable for a better HD picture, but I do not see a way to get the STB to use the HDMI cable as the primary output. How do I tell my STB to use the HDMI cable instead of the coax? My STB is Model:QIP7100-P2.

Bridge an AirPort Express from an Extreme connected to a Motorola DOCSIS 3 cable/modem/gateway via an ethernet cable? Can I connect ethernet to the Express to setup/handshake/coordinate, and then unplug the ethernet cable from the Express?

In other words, does the AirPort Extreme NEED to be the device connected to the coaxial cable, or can I connect that cable to the Motorola SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem/wireless gateway? (My Internet provider requires DOCSIS 3.0 for speeds above 12 megabits/sec.)
Will the Airport Extreme "program" the Express via an ethernet cable, and than the cable can be removed?
The "bridge" or "repeater needs to be quite a distance away from the physically connected cable modem/wireless gateway and the ethernet- connected AirPort Extreme, and we have wall-to-wall carpeting, and the walls and ceilings are off-limits (family politics), so a looooong ethernet cable is out of the question.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanx!
P.S. The 802.11 in my house (ground floor, about fifty feet away from the modem; in the living room about 35ft away *****! And Motorola touts this wireless gateway as having amazing coverage (360, I think they call it),but in fairness, this house is old and has a 5 hanset cordless landline and a microwave and a fan, etc., etc., etc......

Does the usb cable from the Zen Nano cause can

I read in the manual that in some states it is known to have elements that cause cancer is this true?, show I be worried?

Yep, it's some California law that all products or constituents listed as possibly causing cancer must have this warning. I'm not sure what it is that the cable has though... but God knows how many cables I'v touched in my lifetime! Although I don't remember eating any, just spaghetti

Unplugging the USB cable from the Handheld.

Everything has gone smooth. Synchronization a problem. But I cannot get the cable out of the handheld. I have pulled. pressed. pushed. It will not come out. Brand new and I don't want to break it. Is there a secret to getting the cable to disengage? Thanks for any help.

ALMEYER,
There are no official Palm stores you can take your device to for help with your issue.
You may be able to go to a local best buy or a retailer that has a service dept. to see if they can help you with removing the cable. You can also check with a local computer store to see if they can help also.
You should be able to disengage the cable by using the method in the previous post.

Does the power cable from my 24" CinemaDisplay have to connected for the display to work. I just had it repaired and now it seems to have to be plugged into the laptop I dont remember it being like that before.

Is the power cable from the display required to be plugged into my MBP for my display to work. Recently had work done on the display (power supply replaced twice, glass replaced twice). Also since I got it back from repair my system goes to sleep sleeps even though I have it set not to. Frustrated

awesome, so you sound like you know what your going on about. im guessing its a Software fault tbh, because its like the phone is dead.. very upsetting..but with it not being the screen if they dont ask me to replace it and to send it off for repair what can i say as to a loan phone, mind a ease a little bit now i will just now wait for tommorrow to see what happens thank you

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem?

My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem? Is the ethernet route less efficent that going throught the internet connection? If I don't need the westel modem; how do I make the dsl conection to the pone port in the wall? Thanks for help on this!

Ok, so are you saying that your Internet is or isn't working? Does it work if you plug your computer directly into your computer and bypass the router (make sure you power cycle the modem when you do this)? If it is working this way, then a new modem isn't going to solve a problem with your Internet not working. If it is going slow (try running a speedtest) then you need to call your phone company to have them take a look at why your Internet is slow. If it runs fine this way and then slows back down when you go back through your router there is something else going on. Try unplugging both the modem and the router, let the modem fully sign back in and connect to the Internet, after it gets signed in, plug your router in, and then after it boots up fully, try running the speedtest again...See if that helps any? Sometimes it's just an IP conflict that happens when the dynamic IP that is assigned by your Internet Service Provider changes and the change doesn't flow smoothly.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

As there is no sound only picture when connecting my ipad, do I need to also use the audio cable from Apple TV to an older Philips TV?

I have just bought a black Apple TV and it works fine when connecting my iPad to a modern TV. However on an older Philips TV, there is no sound coming through. Do I need to use an audio cable from the optical digital audio port in addition to the HDMI cable? The TV's HDMI does not appear to support sound.

Thanks. However no luck with this TV so far. I've purchased a converter to give a digital audio signal from the optical digital audio output port. The TV has an input audio digital port, but I've had no success in getting sound so far.
Is there any setting in the Apple TV menu that may affect the signal. I've tried the setting for 16 bit signal, without any success.
Perhaps this Philips TV may just not be compatible with the new black Apple TV. I have talked at some length with Philips support desk, but they've offered nothing new.

Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought

I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought? Can any one help

You have the iPhone in your profile, but people's profiles here are often incomplete or very outdated. It's better to be specific. And part of the problem is that I can't find any Belkin composite cables for connecting an iPhone to a TV, either on the Apple Store or the Belkin site. The closest I found is this Belkin video cable, which doesn't specify exactly what kind of connection it is.
For the most relevant assistance, you've got to post in the iPhone forum and specify the cable by providing a link to exactly which cable you're using.
