Does it have to be connected to cable? I'm looking for a small TV for my mom's kitchen and she has no cable, just a converter box.

What kind of converter box? As far as I know, there is no way to connect this TV to a regular antenna.

No well it depends on I there anything wrong with the TV right now the TV has a av cable hook up and a cable wire hook up should work fine so no converter box is needed unless one of them don't work and I don't think you will have a problems with that though anyway if there is something wrong with is and there shouldnt be you can always return it

It's not a cable box. It's for local channels only, and to be used with old televisions that do not have the technology already built in.

I think all new TV's in the US are required to have a digital tuner (my 2 year old Vizio certainly does) so no converter needed. I tried checking the Vizio site, but it was having problems.

Not quite sure why you would need a 'converter box' unless the TV is an older analog set. I just hooked up the antenna to the back of my set & works fine.

Yes; you will still need a converter. It really is just an antenna that week help you get the clearest picture possible, but it isn't a substitute for a converter/doesn't have one built into it. It is a great antenna though.

Only thing you are to connect to is the "audio" out. Not the video. Ours is connected to our cable box.Can listen without TV on.

U need some kind of input signal to have a converted output signal. We get the input from our antenna. The only reason we use this gadget is because I busted the coaxial connection on the TV. Otherwise we would hook the antenna directly.

One more time.... not directly to your cable outlet. You can connect the output of a cable box to this unit. You need to connect via hdmi or vga. There is no F connector or tuner in this unit.

It depends on if your TV is HD ready. If not, you will not receive the HD signal without the converter box.

If it is a newer model TV you do not need a converter box, it should be built in the tv, just hook up your antenna. I get about 35 channels with the antenna, an the picture is 100% better than with bright house cable and I don't have to pay outrageous prices for cable.

If you're referring to a coaxial connection, there is a coaxial input on the bar. I haven't tried to connect directly to a cable box, it would make more sense if you were to connect it to your TV but I probably don't fully understand what you're trying to accomplish.

Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. Mine isn't hooked up to a cable box but it is hooked up to a cable connection using a co-ax. The sound is a little tinny without speakers but the picture is great albeit small. I'm very pleased with mine.

I just connected to the cable and was good to go. Older TV's need a converter box.

Well also it just a regular TV I mean all you have to do is either hook up your cable TV up by Hdmi or cable wire or TV intena by wire and I guess you could use the converter box for free TV I don't know how that works

Yes it works without cable TV, but don't work if you have satellite connected on the coax, also you will need the kit ( adapter on both ends)
