What kind of outside antenna can you use? Will an antenna that I used with the non digital work?

Any good scanner antenna designed to cover the frequencies you want to listen to will work great. A discone will cover a large frequency spread and work well. There are a number of good quality commercial multi band scanner antennas which have great performance. Try to get the antenna as high as you can, use good quality coax, the longer the run the better quality you should use to reduce loss in the coax.

I'm not an expert, but I'm currently using a 10 plus year old Radio Shack outside antenna with excellent results.

A 69 Dollar discone off Amazon will do nicely. Get it up 40 feet and you're set. Use a 50 foot run of RG8X coax or if you have money RG213. Don't forget the correct coax ends to match the radio and the antenna. Do NOT use adapters!

Yes it will work fine. IF you have a signal. The problem with digital signals is that it is all or nothing. You get a perfect picture or none at all so you need a good antenna to get enough of a signal to work with.

What is analog? Lol Welcome to digital era. All TV broadcast is digital. You need s good antenna like this and a post 2000 era TV or an after market TV tuner

I believe this device is only designed to work with an antenna. It converts an analog signal to a digital signal.

No - it's just an antenna with a signal amplifier. You'll still have to buy/obtain a separate unit for converting the new digital signals to analog.

I am using a 25 year old pre-digital antenna in combination with a signal amplifier. Basically any antenna could work. However, how good your reception is will depend upon your location, how high the antenna is mounted, any objects that may obstruct signal, surrounding terrain, distance to desired tv stations, etc. Google TVweb or antenna web to get more information about antennas and what you might expect for your location.

Mine doesn't work very well and I am planning on trying a different brand/type. If someone recommended an outdoor type of antenna, this may not work as it's an "Indoor" model.

There is no such thing as a "digital antenna" - the terminology is just a marketing term. All digital signals are transmitted over the air on the UHF frequency band, which is the same band that the old analog channels 14 through 68 used to be transmitted on. So to pick up a digital signal all you really need is a UHF antenna, which is the smaller rectangular loop in this antenna. With this antenna, I am able to pick up over 100 digital channels at my house.

Yes, this will work with any outdoor/attic antenna. With Amazon's liberal return policy you have nothing to lose by trying it. Mine has worked for 5 years now without a single/signal problem.

I would get an antenna that you can string outdoors and then come into through a window with it.I did get some shortwave by just stringing the supplied wire antenna inside the house.

This is a mid-range antenna, not a long range. And, I'm in a reception "hole" since broadcast went digital. When broadcast was analog, I could receive Dayton channels, sixty plus miles away. I could not receive even the strongest station with this antenna; but I can receive the Public channel, Bowling Green , which is slightly further away in the opposite direction. I'm not familiar with the antenna to which you referred in your query. If it works well for you, let me know.

I use mind on a outdoor antenna, improved my signal by 10 times. It should work for you.

This antenna is very low in quality and will absolutely not replace any good quality digital antenna. On the other hand, is the TV set is not capable of decoding digital signals, you will need the decoder as well.

Use the 2 outside connections. It doesn't matter which antenna you plug into each of the connections.

you can use any ham antenna you like...I have an Antron 10/11M antenna I bought from Radio shack. it works great for 10M

If you have an analog TV then you will need a converter. This antenna picks up digital signals and requires a TV with a digital tuner or a digital to analog converter.

yes, you need antenna and antenna is not included. You could by a very cheap rabbit antenna. Do not buy any costly antenna, because it will not make any difference.
