Not sure, remember an antenna will not pull in signals, a better antenna may just help magnify the signals there. I lived in an apartment, but I lived on the top floor of a 4 story building, nothing really blocked the signal that high. I was able to get channels other people who lived in houses couldn't. So, it all depends on where you live, and how close you think you are to the transmitters or if your in line of site to those transmitters. You might try a amplified antenna, it might help get more gain, but I too thought this Terk would do wonders, and it really didn't, if the signal isn't there it just isn't there. So, your best bet might be cable, but I understand it can be expensive. Not sure, remember an antenna will not pull in signals, a better antenna may just help magnify the signals there.

You can check out the Mohu Leaf Paper-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna - Made in USA. I would get the amplified version. I got a reburbished one for a lower price and it works pretty good for my mom's senior apartment unit. You find a good position for most channels and just hang it on the wall. It is easier than the Terk which extends out and needs something like a shelf to mount it.

This antenna actually connects through a coaxial port. I have an HDTV and connected this antenna to the coaxial port on my TV I did not use an adapter. You won't need an adapter either it will connect to old model TVs and HDTVs. I should tell you also that this antenna doesn't provide you with the channels that it should. The reception may depend on where you live but I would advise buying it used versus new.

Make your own fractal antenna for HDTV. It's easy and it works well: http://ruckman.net/archives.htm#FEATURED

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).

There particular digital antennas are intended to give great HD clarity for free; however, you do not need to have a HDTV but DO need to have a digital TV. This antenna will not work with an analog television. You would need to purchase a converter.

Hi.. I just did the same set-up and I use this: 1Byone 0.02" Paper Thin Digital Indoor TV Antenna-Aerial Type#0188... Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IF70UB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 It was an easy set-up and so far it is working very well. The TV is receiving every standard network, plus all the 60+ of weirdness on UHF. It was about $24 on prime. Good Luck with your search.

If your TV has a built-in tuner to receive digital broadcasts, the antenna should work. If your TV does not have a digital tuner, you will almost definitely get nothing. Digital capability is also know as ATSC. Old analog-only "cable ready" sets did not have ATSC tuners. In the U.S., there are some cities that have a few low-power analog channels still being broadcast, but that is rare and all the major channels are only broadcast digitally now.

Make sure when you are scanning for channels your TV is on air and not cable. Your antenna should be facing the window. Just keep moving it around until your channels start coming in. Good luck!

I've used the HD Frequency Cable Cutter I/O HD Digital antenna and other much cheaper "rabbit ear" type antennas. I found not much difference in the number of channels I received. The real determining factor is your location. In hindsight I would have just purchased a less expensive antenna..

Yes you will need also antenna adapter. The adapter comes with a cable that needs to be connected to power if i remember correctly. Otherwise channel recception will be poor. Check your instructions.

Cable won't go thru a wall to install cable so what is the best antenna for a kitchen to get some viewing time on this TV on Long Island, NY? I have no conversion box...what is the smallest, cheapest and best way? Thanks

Hi, Greg!Your best bet is to go to this page: ClearStream 4 Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 70 Mile Range and look for "A Message from the Antennas Direct Team" way down the page. There, you'll find a phone number and you can call the mfr directly to ask whatever questions you need answered. Before you call, look at your TV set to determine which inputs it has (write those down). If you're planning to use the cables from the dish as the cables you'll use from this antenna, try to read the cable type on the cable jacket and write that down also. There may be an impedance issue that will require a different cable.

Depending on the area your in and the broadcast stations in the area will determine how many channels you will get. Winegard MS-2002 HDTV Antenna without Cable this antenna used with this box will get you almost every broadcast in the area. You will likely pickup multiple of the same channels due to the main transmitter and small signal translators repeating the signal. A work around would be to pick the best looking strongest channel and delete the others. The converter box works just like an HD TV with a built in tuner. So far I'm very impressed with its abilities and give it 5 starts. Depending on the area your in and the broadcast stations in the area will determine how many channels you will get.

All you need is your TV and the HD Antenna. If your TV is ancient, it might not work. But any modern TV should work with this antenna. Go to www.antennaweb.org to find out which stations you will be able to access from your location.

Hi Michael K., You can get VHF/UHF supported Antenna for your channels and you don't need any converter for HDTV. Dave

I purchased an indoor antenna for $30 and use that since I did not have access to Comcast. I get about 6 to 12 channels on what is called Free TV. I am sure you could use a rooftop antenna but you have to have the correct cord and connection to the TV. It does not come with the TV.
