Scott,  Radio Shack catalog writes that the above device (click link) is for 
satellite.  Would this also work on a HD TV /  tuner setup  attached to a cable 
converter box? -  Gerald

Hi Gerald,

What are you wanting to do?  If you want the converter to run both the
TV and a TV tuner in your computer, just get a coax splitter
and connect it after the converter and before the TV and the tuner.
Most places that sell TVs will probably also have splitters.

I would expect the VGA connector on the TV to be used for using it as
a monitor.

Otherwise, if John's answer doesn't do what you want, you'll have
to
explain some more.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
