I would think the cable in Jamaica would be digital, this is for analog only, best connections is VGA is poor for HD........if they would take it back if it didn't work, it might be worth trying for the 50 bucks

I have no clue of the answer but I do know that one cannot view Netflix movies in Jamaica or if you have Amazon Prime...no go on movies either. Good luck!

Absolutely will not work.. For a couple of different reasons.

The item for sale uses the PAL format for displaying TV. Jamaica broadcasts are NTSC format.

Also this device hooks to a computer monitor VGA port. Laptops normally only have a VGA output port, but not an input port.

I would look at a USB external tuner like the ones made by Hauppauge. They are cheap and easy to use wit h a laptop.

Stuart Love....Nice!! Wonder if it is due to your Canadian account??? I checked with both Netflix and Amazon....which both told me that the movies were only able to be viewed in the US and Canada. Might give it a try next time, just for the heck of it. Last trip, left mi laptop at home. Next trip we are staying longer, so I'll probably grab my laptop.
