MiniBox - TV - DVD Connection
Since the MiniBox Setup Guide did not include setting up a DVD with the MiniBox I called Cox customer service rep and was told this is how I need to connect my Minibox – TV – DVD (not DVR),
(FYI - my TV has 2 HDMI ports.
Cable from wall to Minibox.Use HDMI cable from Minibox to HDMI port on TV
HDMI cable from DVD to HDMI port on TV
(did not mention anything about setting channel on minibox and TV)
Does this sound right?
The following diagram from a prior thread has Minibox connected to DVD Recorder (mine is only DVD not recorder) then to TV. Is this set-up only if connecting to DVD Recorder?
Which is right???

The above diagram is for when your using coaxial/cable and want to record a show on the VCR/DVD-R. I believe you just want to connect two things to your TV. If the HDMI from the mini box plugs into HDMI slot 1 of your TV, then use the input/source button on your TV remote to change the input of your TV to HDMI1 for cable and HDMI2 for DVD's. Inputs are direct connections into TV's that don't use the coaxial tuner.

Tecknowhelp,
You are correct, I only want to connect two things to TV (minibox & dvd). Sounds like Cox rep was correct. Thanks for the tip regarding input/source HDMI1 and HDMI2.
