I have a flat screen tv. Would I also have to get a converter box?

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

This unit is stand alone and nothing else is required in order to receive over the air HD channels.

Use old-school cables with RCA-type plugs and plug it into your TV's INPUT plugs like you would a VCR. Those cables don't come with the kit, but you can get them at Radio Shack if you don't already have them. You'll need three cables or a ready-made A/V 3-cable bundle. Two cables for left/right audio channels (usually red for right and either black or white for left), and one cable for video (usually green or yellow). Attach your antenna to the converter box (not the TV) using standard thread-on antenna connection.

The Only Reason You Have To Get A Converter Box Is If You Have An Analog TV. You Can Have Two TV's Connected To This Antenna.

I'm not positive but I think you will need the converter for any tv that doesn't have an internal analog to digital converter. I have a tv that doesn't have the internal converter so it cannot receive the local digital channels with an antenna alone.

Hi Susan. You don't need a digital TV converter. You can connect the RCA Antenna directly to cable input of your flat TV. But the signal that you will get from broadcast through this antenna will usually depend on your location. I think digital converters are needed only to old tvs(analog tvs).

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.

No...if you have an older TV that doesn't have a digital tuner, you need a converter..but you don't get them from the cable company...you buy em...newer digital TVs will work with just a direct hook up.

If your TV is NOT set up for digital, and you can find this on your remote if it says A/D, (analogue, digital), then yes, you will need a converter. Spend as much money on this as you can afford because there is a lot of junk. I know because I bought a cheap one for the kitchen TV. I hope this helps. Terry

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.

Yes, the Roku will hook up to your TV through either HDMI or RCA (red, white, yellow). It depends a little on what connection your converter box uses, but on most TVs, you can hook the converter box to a second set of RCA jacks or the coaxial connection and then just switch between inputs to watch either Roku or the converter box.

A converter box is only needed If the tv requires a box to operate if you plan to use multiple tv's buy a powered spliter

You can if you have a digital tv. Flat panel or the like. Older tvs need a converter box

I use mine with a converter box. Some of the reviews say this cannot be used by direct plug in to a regular older TV, that you must have an HDTV or a converter box for use. I sure hope this helps you. :)

It will connect to the convertor box yes, but of course not directly to your old analogue tv input

Yes the converter works. You will need two HDMI cables. One to run to the converter and one that leaves the converter to the TV.

if you have the new tv you don,t need converter boxes .the one i have has two outputs but may be able to use 3 or more by using a splitter

If your tv is digital,you do not need a digital to analog converter box. An analog tv requires that converter box to work with any antenna.
