I already have a HDTV, but just want to pick up local stations. Is this all I need? Is there a better product out there?

This product did not work for either of my TVs. It was just static. Instructions arn't very good either. Sorry

Unless you are on cable or satellite, you will need an antenna for Over-The-Air local broadcasts. Just like any TV. If you have strong local channels, a simple rabbit ears will probably work fine.

Analog pass through may be of interest to some, but probably most folks don't need it, and it shouldn't be a factor in their purchase decision. There is no major TV station in my area that doesn't already broadcast its programs on DTV. That is probably true of most areas. By 2009, it will be the case almost everywhere.

Sorry, to get more stations is a subscription matter. HDMI has to do with picture quality. Contact your cable provider and inquire about your digital choices.

If you have an analog tv you have to buy a converter box that enables you to get hd signals. If your tv does not have the cable connection on the tv, you cannot use this device. The only alternative is to get a satellite dish and receiver box from directv which allows your tv to pick up hd signals.

Dear, yes, you need to buy the TV tuners, but please kindly note that this is only for analog TV, so you need check if you do have the signal for analog TV locally.

You only need a HD antenna to pick up any free HD channels in your viewing area but this won't get paid channels for free only HD channels of local digital over the air content Hope this helped I used to be confused about what free HD meant too

It works like any other HDTV. It has a digital tuner already installed, so all you would need is an antenna (for about $10). Reception will be based on factors such as distance from the transmission source and the terrain surrounding you, but you should see a nice HD picture.

Basically you'll get all local hd channel plus some more,but that depend on your location. I got 55 hd channels. If you want to have and idea of what channels you'll get and what antenna you will need at your location, go to www.antennaweb.com

Actually that is my current setup. I have a Moho Leaf antenna and it works great. It also picks up TV guides for all current air tv channels.

hey, i'm in the same prob here, looking for something to boost my weak signal for my regular tv. I don't use cable, just rabbit ears. Any sugestion which antenna is best or should i go look for booster?

We have an antenna attached to this so we can get the local stations. I would think you could also use a converter box as well.

Well, why isn't your t.v. picking up signals I wonder? This tuner is great as it works directly through your computer; it just needs a regular TV antenna. It works by picking up the signals from your local stations, that send HDTV signals. Now if you want to get the Cable select channels, then you would only need to purchase their service and you will then get the set top box that is the tuner for the cable channels for which you had negotiated a service.

Provided you have the digital converter box that is now needed to pick up local TV Stations this should work fine. At TVofyourlife.com we are always glad to help.

Hi, yes you will need an antenna to get local channels. If you don't need local channels, then "no". We do have ports that you can add third party devices to television (dvd/directv).

I love this antenna, and even though I do not have cable, it is connected to a small HDTV and I get all of the local channels and more that I used to have to use the converter box to get with old TV's. I have no reservations in recommending it. Hope that helps. Oh, and reception is excellent, picture very clear.

Yes, all you need is a digital converter box which can be picked up for $38 and you will be all set to receive free over the air channels with the Cable Cutter antenna. Any digital converter will work, but we recommend this one:Mediasonic HW180STB HomeWorx HDTV Digital Converter Box with Media Player Function, Dolby Digital and HDMI Out (Old Version)
