No it dose not. You cable or satellite provider should have some app or website where you can watch Live TV.

Yes, pretty much. Assuming you have basic cable service or are in range of digital HDTV service.

I would,think so. But it may depend on whether or not you have a separate cable box or how the TV is serviced by cable. For example, my Tv is plugged into electric so if I put one of,the devices on that outlet, it,would,only turn off the TV. My cable box is plugged into a separate electric outlet so I would need a second device for that.

No, those are cable channels. It picks up local channels that are broadcasting in your area.

Thanks for the quick response. I am still getting 2 different answers. It sounds like if you hook it up before the Cable Box or TV that you can do both.

Short answer, No. This product's design is such that it can replace your cable box. In fact, with a Cable card, which is required for it to operate properly, it can replace your cable box.

yes. you will only get channels provided by your basic cable subscription. to take full advantage of this device you need to subscribe for internet speed through your cable provider. then you will have an abundance of options to watch.

No, this unit only works on existing cable services. It basically would replace the set top box that the cable company would rent you.

No, it only uses a cable input, this is the cheapest antenna.....you're better off getting a "leaf" antenna, here is the link. I have one of these in my basement and pick up everything.

"Cable"? As in, pay a provider for TV? NO! A strong internet connection would be nice, but not necessary. Depends on how you wanna use it

yes...has video component inputs...and coaxial or optical audio choices...advise get latest cable box with hdmi inputs/outputs...your box is outdated...compromises hd viewing.

No, not for channels that require subscription service (CNN, Showtime, etc.). For local programming (and the increasing number of HD channels) and for PBS, the reception is crystal clear. Those are what I watch now and I no longer pay for cable or satellite.

It will receive cable signals without the box. The tuner will work excellent on the HD channels and okay on the others

Well, I can get several local TV stations without a cable box. I removed the Verizon box and it picks up about 20 stations. And they come in better without the box.

I do not think so. This is really just an antenna not a cable box substitute.Unfortunately it is also not a very good antenna. It only brought in one station in an area where my neighbors reliably got 6 or 7 channels. I do not know how to return it but it is back in it's box and of no use to me.

I don't have cable either. However, while I too am a techno dunce, I can only tell you it works on my TV which has a master antenna. Even though I don't need it, I still use the box that I got for digital use only because I like that it gives me more info regarding each channel. The set up seemed the same as it was with my old (not flat) screen.
