can they be pluged into directly the tv cable box?

Well, yes, but that's a pretty strange use for them. They are not very loud and will not project sound very well across a large room. They are designed to use with a laptop or a tablet where the user is 18 inches away. They are small, light and portable, powered by USB.

I do not know. I guess. I never tried it. But if the cable box have a 3.5mm jack it would work.

Yes. Plug in is in the back. I was also able to plug my TV into it using the same cable

Yes it can. This would be the case as long as your tv or more likely your cable box have bluetooth. You can also connect with an auxiliary jack cable out from your tv to the speaker.

Yes, that's how mine us setup. Make sure to check the manufacturer's website for compatability with your specific cable box.

It wouldn't be elegant but one 'could' string a cable through the holes. They are big enough to take a 1/4" cable. That said, if I wanted to use a cable I'd drill a hole in two sides near the bottom of a corner so the cable could go through and wrap around something outside the box. Mine is screwed to a shelf.

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.

Typically the output of a cable box is a a coax cable that connects to the RF input of the TV. Alternatively, you could have an HDMI cable that would plug into the HDMI input of the TV. Look at the cable you want to connect and match it with the connector on the TV. See pages 11-14 of the TV User Manual.

These cannot go directly to TV. To go direct to TV speakers would have to have a built in amplfier. Thus they need to plug into a standard stereo receiver (which has an amplifier) and the the receiver and TV are connected using RCA plugs.

yes. BUT, you will only be able to watch what the SENDING tv is on.( one tv must be connected to the cable company box)

No, you can not connect these speakers directly to your HDTV, unless your TV has speakers connectors, which I have not seen one thus far. The do not come with any wirings/cords. If you want a 5.1 Surround sound or bigger speakers than your TV, then you will need the following. RCA Wirings to connect the TV sound outputs into a Receiver, which you need to buy [if you do not have one]. Then buy good speaker wires/cords to connect the Receiver connect to these speakers. The samples in the Internet seemed to be missing the Receiver. They only show the TV and the speakers, which is misleading to some who is not familiar to sound system set ups.

Yes, I currently have mine hooked up to my direct tv box, but have also hooked up directly to my tv.

If your cable box supports HDMI, yes. But you'd be better off getting an actual TV which features switchable inputs and channels.

They do not come with rca jack ends so they cannot plug directly in to a tv but if you are running them through a stereo or a speaker selector switch they should work fine.

No. Just plug them into the sub and thats it. I am very pleased with this product, and recomend it highly.

I don't have cable tv, so I really don't know what kind of connection is needed for a cable box, so I can't answer the question -- sorry!

If you're referring to a coaxial connection, there is a coaxial input on the bar. I haven't tried to connect directly to a cable box, it would make more sense if you were to connect it to your TV but I probably don't fully understand what you're trying to accomplish.

Yes, you can... Make sure your cable box is hocked up to the VCR. Then you are good to go.
