I have no idea what you want exactly and I'm not that familiar with their product line. I would recommend you either contact Elgato directly or you can look for a dealer in your area. You can find a dealer locator on Elgato's website. Be descriptive about what you would like, for example is HDTV important, do you want DVR capablities etc...

Checking signal strength with cable box on

If possible, how would I be able to check the signal strength for one of my cable boxes while it is turned on? I know how to do it when it is off and I know how to do it with a digital adapter. I asked a whole back specifically regarding the Cisco RNG150N but I didn't get a response.

If it's a non-x1 RNG150, then I do not believe there is a way to do it with it turned on. Is there a reason why you don't want to turn the cable box off?

1820M digital inputs don't work with cable box, receiver digital outputs?

I just installed an 1820M on an XP-Pro machine (AMD 3800+ X2). Downloaded the optical and coax loopback tests and they work fine. But I can't get it to take digital input from either my Comcast HD-DVR or my Denon AVR-1907 receiver. I know the Comcast DVR digital outputs work - they worked with my receiver and with my old Logitech 5300s.
I've tried everything I can think of:
- take external sync from S/PDIF
- set the optical to ADAT so it doesn't mess up the coax s/pdif input
This seems like such an obvious application. Has anyone gotten it to work?
Thanks

This is my point - the currently active channel does not produce sound through its multiple outputs unless Logic is playing.
So, for example, if I am auditioning different drum grooves from RMX through the multiple outputs (for the purpose of putting effects/processors on the outputs in Logic) this only works when Logic is playing.
Or if, in BFD, I have the direct Snare coming out of one output into an aux, and then a direct Kick coming out and output into another aux, I cannot hear them unless Logic is playing - I can only hear the ambient mic's as these are mapped to Outputs 1-2 which are the initial track you set the multiple output AU up on.
If none of this is something you tend to do, I guess it's hard to understand!
Thanks,
Alex.

IMac with cable modem and apple AirPort Extreme base station

AirPort Extreme setup 2 weeks ago and workred fine. Then upgrade to lion 10.8.3 started problem. Computer shows no Internet ( yellow light) for "Internet" but green light on AX. Cable modem actually shows connection to Internet at gigabit speed. Wireless ipad works fine. Computer will not access Internet either wireless or thru Ethernet. Must be a setting I am missing somewhere?

Solved my problem. I had checked, in the Apple Preferences folder, internet share. I unchecked it and everything performed like before. Thanks, self.

NEED HELP --- hooking up tv, cable box, home theater

60" Samsung smart TV --- contains several HDMI inputs
Time Warner HD cable box --- contains 1 HMDI input; components as well
LG Home Theater in a box, Model #BH6820SW --- contains 1 HDMI output, red/white aux input, & yellow video output.
Very simple...... I want to turn my TV on, change channels with cable box remote & have my sound from TV come out of this home theater in a box I just bought.
I've been at this for hours and I'm ready to take it back because of the ongoing frustration. I have 3 HDMI cables to use (which obviously I won't need all of them), I have a red/white audio cables and a yellow video cable to use if needed.
Can someone out there PLEASE explain how this can be done?????????
Thanks.

You may be able to do it by running a Digital Optical cable to the Digital optical input on the LG from the TW Cable Box, and a seperate HDMI cable to the TV from the TW Cable box.
Honestly though, I'd take it back and get a an AVR with HDMI switching, a set of speakers, and a standalone Blu Ray player. It'll cost more, but you'll get a better feature set, better performance, and more flexbilty to add more devices down the road.

To get TV on your iMac off the cable box you would need to use an external TV tuner device such as the company ElGato is highly regarded for. I have used one of their EyeTV products for many years with my iMac to watch television shows from my Comcasst cable TV box. You can look at the models here:

Kenex xd. Can i use it with a cable box

can i use the kenex xd with a cable box

Does your cable box output TV ready HDMI? If not, the answer is no because the Kanex XD converts HDMI signaling to mini-DisplayPort signaling only.
If your cable box has TV ready HDMI output, is it either 2560x1440 or 1280x720 resolution? Those are the two resolutions that the 27" iMac's display can accommodate in Target Display Mode.
Otherwise, you will need to get an EyeTV from El Gato to use with your cable box and the new iMac.

I'd like to connect my new iMac (2013) to my cable box to watch tv in my kitchen how do I do it?

I am interested in using the iMac we keep in the kitchen as a tv. Can I connect it to my cable box and use it that way? The iMac is new. I purchased it about 6 months ago. It's the smaller of the two sizes.

Not really. The only way is to have a system to Stream the TV images to the computer. To do what you want, Cable box to computer, you would have to use the computer as just a screen (TV) and although there is a way to use the iMac as a screen for another computer, Target Screen Mode, that won't work for connecting a cable box to it.

How to connect with a cable box

I cannot seem to find any information on how to connect up an Apple TV in a system that has an external cable box. I live in NY City where you cannot get cable TV without the external cable box. Where in the set up (along with my DVD player and component audio) do I fit the AppleTV?

I've used a 5 X 1 HDMI switch from Monoprice.com and it works just fine. I only have two HDMI inputs on my TV and use one just for the cable box and the other has the 5X1 switch hooked to it. The five ports are: a Toshiba DVR, a Mac Mini, an Apple TV, a DVI to HDMI cable for my MacBook and a spare port hopefully a HD-DVD some day.
One problem is if you calibrate the HDMI port on the TV to a device on the switch, when you switch to a different device the picture may not be optimal for that second (third, fourth or fifth) device. This is not the fault of the switch, rather a function having different devices on one HDMI port.
Rarely, very rarely, when switching to the Apple TV you need to tell it the resolutions for the TV.
Finally, if you are impatient, it takes three seconds or so when switching between devices. Otherwise a switch works great for me.

Hi Gilly,
I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.

I have an older HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection. I use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II system and have a HDTV cable box. Bose system has no HDMI. How can I connect an Apple TV to this system?

I have an older flat panel HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection which is being used through my cable box for TV reception. I also use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II home theatre system. It has no HDMI inputs. Can I use an Apple TV with my present system? I'd prefer not hearing, "buy a new flat panel."

Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.

Lost a 2 hard drives, have 7 k photos on a touch that I need to load on IMAC with a new hard drive, how do I do it. Just never went from a Touch to iMac. I have the cable hooked up and then what, I don't want to mess up,my last chance to save 7k pics!

Lost my hard drive and also an Ipad, but have 7 k photos on a Touch that I need to load on fixed IMAC with a new hard drive, how do I do it. (There were more photos than the 7k, but they were saved on other drives, thank goodness). 7K pohotos on the Touch are no where else, must be saved! Just never went from a Touch to iMac. I have the cable hooked up and then what, I don't want to mess up,my last chance to save 7k pics! New Aperture and IPhoto on IMAC with no other photos loaded on the new hard drive yet.

I'd ask in the iTouch forum where there are more iTouch users there than here and they should know how to off load the photos. It might take a 3rd party app.

Which cable (original apple usb or bmw y) shall i use to connect my 4th gen iPod photo 60 gb to bmw f10 (with com box) is it going to work with the apple usb cable and how long does it take till I can access the 33gb content via the bmw display?

Alternatively: How long does it take if I would have to use the bmw y cable till I can access the 33gb content via the bmw display?

42SL417 Connection or Compatibility Issue with Explorer Cable Box 8642HDC

I have the TV listed above and recently switched to Brighthouse cable. Intermittently my TV loses the connection to the cable box and the input information (1080i, 720p, etc) comes up across the top of the TV and the picture resets. I had the cable guy out and he said that there was a compatibility issue between the TV and the cable box. I didn't get all the information since he talked to my wife, I was at work. I don't believe that this is the issue, but wanted to check to see if this was a known problem or if anyone has had a similar experience. My firmware is 2.2.2, which I believe is the most current. Any thoughts or ideas? The best I could get from my wife was that the box was trying to communicate with the TV to maximize resolution and the delay creates the connection problem. Before I call the cable company back, I wanted to get some opinions. My thought is that there is a signal problem since the internet had connectivity problems as well. He changed the cable on the internet connection and said that would fix that, but I can't believe they aren't related.

That is indeed the latest firmware.
You may want to perform a factory reset, as described on page 44 of your user's guide. After the reset, ensure your TV is off and unplug it for a few minutes. All your settings will be reset, so you will have to set up the TV again.
You might also want to try disabling CEC (page 39) or auto aspect ratio feature (page 47).
I don't know for sure that any of this will help, but these are your best bets. Unfortunately, if none of this helps, I'm out of ideas.

Can I connect my cable box to my 2011 iMac

If you are setting up to use Wi Fi connect the Ethernet cable to the cable box then to the router.
Some companies like Comcast have online manuals available online for instructions. Check your cable company's web site. The manuals should be available in PDF format.
