Gary,
To get your Apple TV going, you could move the HDMI cable from your cable
box to your Apple TV. That should work. You probably
don't want to do that in the long run, though, as those connectes may not
stand up to that kind of frequent connecting and
disconnecting. As someone else mentioned, it is quite possible you have a
second HDMI input on your TV, and if that is the case
you will probably want to use a separate HDMI cable to connect your apple
TV to that input. You will need to be able to switch
between inputs in that case, cable box or Apple TV using your TV's remode.
The problem is that we could be giving you useless information since I
don't know if you have a second HDMI input on your TV, nor
do I know if you might have an HDMI input on your cable box. I've seen
cable boxes with game inputs for example. You probably
need someone there to work with you on this to figure out the best
solution, or gather some additional information so we can be of
better assistance. TV's and even cable boxes nowadays can vary a good
deal in terms of inputs and outputs.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Thanks Steve. Maybe I shouldn't have given you this much yet. One end of
my hdmi cable is connected to the cable box, and the other end is
connected
to my TV. Now the end that is connected to the cablebox, should that end
be
connected to the Apple TV?

Gary,
Yes, Apple TV comes with its own remote but it doesn't look like a
normal
remote. It is very thin and fairly narrow and is made
of metal. When you open your Apple TV, you could easily miss it. As I
mentioned bfore, it has only a few buttons. If you have
not opened the box yet, you definitely should check out some of the
resources and read about it to make sure you have everything
you need. For example, I don't think mine came with an HDMI cable, so
if
you got this as a result of an auction, you will need to
see if you have an HDMI cable for it. It sounds as though we may be
giving you too much information too quickly if you haven't
seen the remote control yet. If you have more basic questions, we can
try
to help, but there is a lot we don't know about your
setup.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Gary, no you can't use the cable tv remote to interact with the apple
tv for things like selecting netflix movies or iTunes movies etc.
