no, your cable coax carries analog tv channels while the blackbox will only process digital tv (isdb-t standard) ... you will have to connect the blackbox on the AV input of your tv (using the supplied rca cable), while the cable coax remains on the Antenna input of the tv

Ok Ito kung ganyan pwede ba Hdmi connection to TV parang mgs digital media player or Walang HDMI connection Ito.

So I short. Pag pagssbayin Ito with your existing cable and you want to watch like DZMM you have to switch to your AV/component/Hdmi channels?

walang HDMI ang blackbox (although the board itself have unused provision for it, possibly for the next rev build) ... yes, on the tv you simply switch to AV (source)

Bakit kaya wala pang HDMI itong box? Dahil sa target market nila?

Very high probability, yes. It can output both Composite and RF... para sa mga legacy TVs.

But ironically, my bedroom Samsung LCD TV only has HDMI, Component, and VGA inputs.... no Composite. I have to use RF to receive the signal from the box through analog CH3 on the TV.

It's the 1980s all over again.

^^ mine naman meron composite pero useless din pala tong high def LED ko kung ala naman composite out man lang ang blackbox kundi RCA out lang. Better use CRT TV na lang kaya. hehe
