"Cable"? As in, pay a provider for TV? NO! A strong internet connection would be nice, but not necessary. Depends on how you wanna use it

Dear friend. Yes you need cable. It is a very complicate installation because, that particular TV Turner was discontinue.

It does have a digital audio input (TOSLINK). But as someone else said, you really only need an HDMI cable; unless you have some other special need, connect the Apple TV to the A/V receiver via HDMI, and then another HDMI cable from the A/V receiver to the HDTV.

I purchased this to use with my sound bar to connect it I my samsung HDTV. It's a sound cable so if your Apple TV has an optical aux connection the. Go for it that's what it's for :) in this case if you wanted to plug in speakers for better sound get this cable but not familiar with Apple TV make sure you have the optical plug in

It worked for us! My advice is still to buy an Apple TV and use the HDMI cable to connect it to your TV - the adapters haven't lasted long for me so it was cheaper in the long run to buy the little box and set it up - you can use the Bluetooth to mirror your ipad or iphone onto the TV if you want to use an app that isn't already pre-programmed into Apple TV

HDMI has both video and audio - if your TV has HDMI input and the Blue Ray has HDMI out - then you shouldn't need this box. Just conect the HDMI cable.

I can give you an emphatic no. When I hook this box up to my Apple TV, the audio sounds beautiful, but it introduces all sorts of static into the picture - which is unacceptable in an era of HDTV. It is utterly useless in this configuration.

Yes you need an optical cable to connect the sound bar to your cable box or TV.

Digital cable will not work. If your cable provider offers analog cable (that does not require a box), this should work fine. Just make sure that in the settings you tell it to look for "Cable" not "Air". Many cable companies no longer offer this service.

Yes you can. Some Mention to Apple TV is some times listed but it's just an HDMI to VGA with audio converter. Works well for me.

Of course you require an HDMI input on your TV and an HDMI output from your Direct basic and eppropriate cables.I use the remote control so that AppleTV shares the HDMI input with a DVR.Joe Maltz

I don't have cable either. However, while I too am a techno dunce, I can only tell you it works on my TV which has a master antenna. Even though I don't need it, I still use the box that I got for digital use only because I like that it gives me more info regarding each channel. The set up seemed the same as it was with my old (not flat) screen.

Yes -- all cables are included, however, you will need to provide your own display adapter. Only the official Apple display adapters fit in the special-sized hole, so be aware of that if you have any third-party display adapters (such as belkin).

No cables - you'll need at least 1 hdmi or composite to connect to cable box - others if additional device connections

No problem. It should work right out of the box. If not, then you just have to couple it with your apple TV but all of mine have just worked.

You don't need to buy any cables for the Mac, the transmitter plugs into any of the USB ports.For the TV you need an HDMI cable to link it to the receiver.Yes it transmits audio and video over HDMI
