Help I'm Stuck with my Apple TV

Hi Anyone! I purchased an Apple TV to mainly be able to stream from my Iphone, it was recommended when I asked for assistance. Anyway I was told that I needed a HDMI cord, which I have and to connect the cord from the Apple TV to my TV. Well I do not have a port on my TV but I do have the port on my cable box that's connected to my TV. Once I connected everything I do not get a connection, I turned to every setting and still no connection. Do you think the problem is the connection set up because it's plugged to my cable box? Does this mean I need a new TV?

Moe,

I don't think you can route through your cable box. You can get an HDMI splitter that will plug into one HDMI port but allow two cables to plg into it, I have used one and it worked well. You can also get an adapter for HDMI to another type of port but lose the HDMI HD.

This is an example http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/300591909127?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&v ar=sbar&adtype=pla

Moe,

Mis read your post - looking as if you had no spare port not no port! This may be what you need!! http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&q=hdmi+converter&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ci d=12375205160434024531&sa=X&ei=NYJqUMajOeOB4gTXhoH4DQ&ved=0CD8Q8wIwAA
