Question 1

I'm looking to use this with my PS4.  Will this be compatible?

Accepted Answer

Probably not.
There is one made specifically for X-box but not specifically for PS.
Check the manufactures  website for info.

Question 2

I have xfinity and am looking to expand on my dvr.  this device sounds like I would be able to do so.  does anyone have it hooked up to an existing cable set top box and or existing dvr and is still able to use it in addition to their current dvr system?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell you for sure, b/c I don't use cable TV (I use an antenna, rigged in the attic).  Broadly speaking, I think this device was really designed for receiving TV over-the-air through an antenna.

What I CAN tell you, this device expects an RF signal.  If your cable set top box outputs an RF signal that you can view on your TV (like, tune your TV to channel 3 or something), then this device can "view" it, too.  Try it with your TV.  If you can connect your cable box to your TV with a coax cable and watch stuff, this device will basically work.   But...  like your TV, it will have to be set to channel 3 or something, and will only view/record the cable "channel" that your cable box is set to via your cable remote.  The device is unable to cause your cable box to change cable "channels" on its own.

OTOH, if your cable box ONLY outputs HDMI or composite (an RCA jack), then this device won't work.

If you have a cable service that does not REQUIRE a set top box to work, such that you can plug your xfinity cable DIRECTLY into your TV and watch, change channels, all that normally, then this device can likely work for you.  But I don't know of any cable services that work without a set top box anymore, and any premium stuff like HBO will most likely appear scrambled or unwatchable.

Question 3

Does anyone know if this is compatible with Cox Cable TV in the Oklahoma area? I called Cox and talked to 2 technical people. I was told they support "some" QAM, but they can't tell me if they support Clear QAM. They also to me to use it at my own risk. Ooh! That makes me scared. I'd appreciate any input. Thank you.

Thanks for the response, Duane. I did decide to purchase this, and it turns out this particular location has analog TV from the cable company. It does not work in this instance, so I'm having to pay $18.65 to return it. Too bad.

Question 4

will it work with Windows 10? HP computer, 4 ys old, Cable input.  Time Warner.  64 bit, intel i5 processor.  3.0 Ghz

Accepted Answer

Yes, runs fine with Windows 10.  The specs from your rig look plenty good enough, too.

Question 5

Can I use this with the Nvidia Shield Android TV box?

Accepted Answer

I don't own an Android device, but the packaging indicates Windows is required.

Question 6

I want to replace my old external TV tuner (an ADS Tech box with USB input) with something that can handle HDTV.  I have a cable line off an extra converter box that I can feed into the tuner.  My question is: Can I connect this to my converter box and coaxal cable to control and send HD video to my Win 10 computer so that I can watch and record TV shows on my computer?  (My computer has a AMD Phenom II X4 945 processor and an ATI Radeon HD4600 Series Video Card.)   Can I also view over the air channels with this device?
Thanks in Advance
Greg G.

Yes you can but you will not need to connect it to your converter box. Just get a splitter and connect one leg to this device and the other to the converter box.

It supports ATSC (over-the-air digital) and ClearQAM (un-encrypted channels provided by some cable TV subscriptions).
