what kind of antenna do you need

Standard coax connected antenna. Stronger is better because you will likely get more channels. The simple.tv HW is junky hardware though IMO.

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.

You can use any antenna you want to. The box takes a coaxial cable as input. Use an indoor or outdoor type. Perhaps a Mohu Leaf, either amplified or not.

You need an over the air antenna with coax connection most likely UHF as many stations broadcast HD with UHF. There are still some VHF broadcast so your mileage will vary. Check antennaweb (dot) org and/or tvfool (dot) com for types of antennas needed for your area. If you leave in a large metropolitan area or close you probably just need a small antenna. If you are in a rural location you may need a larger more expensive antenna. I highly recommend the simple.tv 2 over this first generation model as it has improved hardware. I have both devices and they both work relatively well but setup was tedious. You need an over the air antenna with coax connection most likely UHF as many stations broadcast HD with UHF.

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.

I can answer back in Spanish .. if needed. As for needing a tuner, I would say that depends on whether the antenna has a direct view of the towers. If you are in the city and there are structural issues, get the tuner. Hopefully, this answers the question, if not let me know.

Maybe a couple if you have a strong signal but there is no built in antenna if that's what you meant. You can buy very good inexpensive antennas on amazon (check their reviews first)

Yeah, if you are hooking up multiple TVs or have long cable runs from the antenna an amplifier is the solution. Note: Amplifiers are NOT the solution for weak signals due to distance from the stations. Your best bet there is to buy a bigger/better antenna. The amp can only work with what it gets from the antenna. If all you're getting is static than amplified static is what you'll get with an amp added.

Mine came with a antenna. If I was looking for a replacement I would try radio shackI hope this helps you.

I used the tripod the old antenna was on. You can get one at RadioShack or on line.

I suggest the 220 specific antenna (NA-702) made by Nagoya. They also have a few 144/440 based antennas (701/771) but they do not work well on 220.

Hi,I have used the simple rabbit ear antenna or you can order one of the not so pricey HD antenna`s, either one works really well.

You're going to need an antenna, cable and the antenna mount, good ground, and 'tune' the antenna .

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.

you need an SMA Reverse polarity Male connector, other wise youll be stock with an antenna you cant use.

if you want any range at all, you have to buy a decent antenna. height counts, so a 6' - 8' antenna is a good choice.

I use the ExpertPower 14.5 inch antenna found here on Amazon. I can't put the link though because Amazon does not allow that.

One should be all you need. BUT, it is a very marginal antenna. I'd get something better like Powerlink or http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUS036NH-Wireless-Long-Range-Screw-On/dp/B003YIFHJY/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_0

I'm using DirecTV with mine so I'm not sure if you'll require an antenna to receive the local channel feed.
