A:Answer I don’t have cable, but I doubt it. It is just a switch box so you can go between different devices. For example, our switch box is connected to the TV set, and the 4 hdmis on the back are attached to several TiVos and a DVD player. When we want to watch a dvd, we switch to that spot (#4), and when we want to watch one of the TiVo’s, we switch to which spot it is on. It doesn’t do anything else.
