I was wondering if this will work with cable tv and tune in the digital cable channels for a analog tuner tv ? null

If your cable company uses their cable box, this won't work as the cable company communicates with their box to control what channels you get. This is mainly for broadcast channels received with a antenna.

If the cable box has the option to output to the TV on channel 3 or 4, using the coax cable, then you could plug that coax cable in as the input to this DVR. This would allow you to use the DVR to record cable TV on channel 3 or 4, but would not allow you to switch cable channels. You would do that the normal way you change cable channels. So, it would work, but only in a limited way.

No. It will not decode the cable TV signal. It's designed to receive (with an attached antenna, not supplied) digital over-the-air broadcast signals only.

Sorry, only works with over the air antenna signal.

I haven't tried it. But I can say even with a expensive antenna booster it didn't get me any reception in boron California. Had to get direct TV dish and the cable companies wouldn't set me up to my motor home even with a address. Bottom line we don't have free tv anymore. How's that for control of the media and your minds.
