You are now getting a digital signal from your provider that needs to be converted to analog for your analog device.

This converter only does audio signals - you need a digital to analog video converter. Go here to see boxes for over he air conversion.

This item is for audio (sound) only. What you need is a digital TV converter to make the digital signal viewable on your old (analog)set. Here's an example:APEX DT502 Analog to Digital TV Converter

This unit is for wired audio signals, not wireless, such as TV signals, analog or digital. You need a digital to analog TV convertor, which at one time was provided free, but no longer.

Like Chris Clayton said: You most likely need a digital TV converter box. If your TV is past 10 years old. This is an old thread but perhaps it will help someone else. A Digital converter box costs $30-$40 dollars.

Eddy, Most HD TVs will pick up the digital signals (older HD "ready" models require a converter box). So, you shouldn't need a converter box to receive the digital signals, just an antenna. This box will not pick up any digital channels without using an antenna as well. However, if you do need a converter box, I would not recommend this one. I had one and it went out after a few months.

Yes, all you need is a digital converter box which can be picked up for $38 and you will be all set to receive free over the air channels with the Cable Cutter antenna. Any digital converter will work, but we recommend this one:Mediasonic HW180STB HomeWorx HDTV Digital Converter Box with Media Player Function, Dolby Digital and HDMI Out (Old Version)

Provided you have the digital converter box that is now needed to pick up local TV Stations this should work fine. At TVofyourlife.com we are always glad to help.

Yes, you can hook up a Digital converter box using HDMI or component cables. For me, it is the only way to get HDTV. There is NOT a QAM tuner in this model, so you will only get analog channels when you do the scan for channels. The term "digital" for this TV is misleading in my opinion.

If it is an analog tv (box style) you will still need a digital convertet. After I priced them, I bought a cheap flatscreen (cheapest I could find) because some converters were up to $50.

Conroe, TX ... If your TV was receiving ANALOG transmission OK.. back before they changed to DIGITAL; then it will do the same. It does require rabbit ears or other type of antenna. Has a great menu drive ... I think your like all the extras in Digital transmissions. Number of channels should be about the same as before.

What is analog? Lol Welcome to digital era. All TV broadcast is digital. You need s good antenna like this and a post 2000 era TV or an after market TV tuner

Hummm...I don't know what you mean by analog TV because to the best of my knowledge all non-cable stations are required to broadcast in digital. This means your local stations should be broadcasting in digital. My local stations are 2, 5, 7, 9, and 11 on what I believe is called VHF and 20, 26, 32, 50, 60, and 66 on UHF. They all come in, after you use the scan function, via a digital signal. Most of these channels have duplicates of which one reads "Digital". This suggests that there are two or more signals. Perhaps one is analog. Either way I think you'll be able to get your channels. In fact, I think the A in ATSC is for analog.

If it was for local channels only you could have skiped the converter box and connected stright into your new TV. Try this first.

I did not need the conversion box. I just screwed it into my digital flat TV and it worked fine. Just scan for channels. I get about 20 local channels here in mid town Memphis, Tn. I have to move it a little sometimes because of air planes. Im close to FedEx and the airport.

Pretty much all modern TVs have built-in turners now, including digital channel tuners. For digital reception you just need to get a digital rabbit ear style receiver. Otherwise with cable you just need to plug in the cable without a box.

This tuner will ONLY convert analog TV signals. It will not convert digital TV signals.

Yes, digital HD signals and analog signals. Your TV should be digital signal ready, which if it's only a few (10 or so I guess) years old it should be.
