You need to have it authorized with your cable provider, connected to the wall, tv, power socket.If this is all done, and your box is still not working, you may have a faulty box.I saw a cable repair man use a Pioneer Pio Writer before. He connected a few wires and then error code on the pioneer catv converter went away. try looking for something like that.
You can connect a CATV cable into a computer monitor by first attaching it to an external TV tuner. A VGA or HDMI output can then be attached to the monitor.
The Answer is no. you have to have a cable with the correct signal that can load the information that the box needs, which for most CATV systems is located at 75.25 MHz. This signal loads the firmware, TV guide, and other applications that the CATV company may be using.
