I live in the city. Will this box and antenna still work

We also live in the city, and the converter box with antenna work very well, but you have to rotate antenna to get best signal strength, just like any other antenna.

Hi Scott, you would need the antennas to get a good transmission. You'll get a better sound when the box is elevated.Eugene

Yes, no issues with reception. This will vary depending on your location to the broadcasted signal.

If your problem with the cable box channels is signal degradation, then yes. If the problem isn't related to weak signal strength, then no.

It looks as though it will, however mine did not increase signal strength (relative to where the box is placed) or mimo speed. Dual antennas would be a much better solution to weak signal. Plus you could have longer cables, this is only decent for portability.

No. This is an indoor antenna that will work ok in a metro area where you are less than 25 miles from the TV towers. You will likely need to take extreme measures to pickup digital TV signals from that far away.

I don't quite understand your question, but I'll tell you what I tried to do. I tried to take my box 3 hours north where we had an antenna, and all i wanted to do was watch my recorded videos, not the live direct TV. It wouldn't work because the antenna was not activated. It was very hard to get the company to tell me whether this would work or not and they kept transferring me until my call got disconnected. lol. My advice is don't count on it being so easy.

It will work better than any other inside the home antenna that you would see at the store. Be sure to have it as high as you can up there, and pointed toward the broadcasting towers. I have mine outside, and pick up stations 60 miles away.

That little box is awesome. The antenna threads on, so I imagine you could find a larger antenna that would fit. The box gets hot, and there is no on/off switch, but no issues so far after several months of use.

Yes, but the location and signal acquisition of your indoor antenna will affect your results. My antenna is in a window that faces most local broadcast sources with few buildings in between. If I were in a different location where buildings blocked my antenna from the broadcast sources the quality of my results would be dramatically reduced. So, you will see some improvement, but your results may not achieve your expectations, nor will your results achieve the impossible.

I have used the antenna as supplied and a "better" one. The hardware expects to see the signal coming from the little line amplifier that is supplied with it. Upgrading to a "better" antenna will be successful only if that line amplifier is left in place and the replacement antenna is routed through it. With the antenna supplied with the AVerTV system, I could pick up all but one of the local stations plus those from 50 miles away. With the upgrade, I could pick up the missing local channel that was blocked by the high-rise building in which I was living. Try out the "blade" antennas such as the LEAF that can be hung on the wall, placed in a window frame,

Yes, but it will interfere with the distance your antenna can get a signal from. This may or may not matter depending on where the stations are you are trying to pick up.

If you have a outside antenna you just have to get the right connector in order to use it, other wise the antenna that comes with it will work fine. Also you can adjust the sensitivity of the receiver so you receive only close agencies.

Be sure to have a look at the coverage maps for each system.They seem to only work if you are near a major city so far.

It works best with a outdoor antenna. However for the price it cant hurt to try it..

Depending where you live, instead of hooking up to CATV you can use the antenna provided. I found the antenna inside buildings does not work well.

It depends upon the signal strength, but, from my experience, I doubt it. I was only able to get the channels from two networks with a third occasionally and I live just a few miles outside the city.
