Does this antenna work with older tvs?

I responded to the question incorrectly at first, my apologies. I was able to screw it into the same port as a cable box. I have an older Sony Bravia HDTV that does not have a built-in digital tuner. I was not under the impression that this unit is suited for standard definition television sets. I believe you need the converter box.

It has the standard male coax connector, so unless your set does not have the coax input, it will connect to just about any TV. I bought it for receiving digital signals so I don't know how well it performs for non-digital signals. I live in a metro area where there are many stations and it was not a problem for me receiving channels.In fact, I bought another one in case I might buy another HDTV in the future.

Yes and no. The cord has the same make-up as a cable cord so it would screw into the cable port or the input/antenna port. However, if your tv is older than 2007? then you won't be able to pull down HDTV channels without a converter box. This antenna will probably only work if you have a tv that has an internal HD tuner or if you get a converter box. I hope this helps?

It only has a cable connection. So, to use on older TV's you will also need a interface connector between the two. I forget the real name.

This is a digital TV antenna only use with HDTV Flatscreen of the 21st century. You need a box for old sets .

Both the antenna and the speaker have an audio input jack. So if your TV has an audio output (typically a headphone jack) and you have an audio cable (with 2 male ends) then it should work

Yes. There is really no such thing as an HD TV antenna. The type transmission did not change only the content. Forget the antenna manufactures hype. An old antenna will work with new HD digital TVs and the so called new HD antennas will work with the old analog TVs.Remember, this antenna will have to be connected to a digital to analog converter box for your old TV to work.

It should be compatible with just about any tv as long as it has the av output jacks.I hooked mine up to a 26" Westinghouse LED/LCD.I dont know if it would work with a very old tv without the jacks.

As long as you have a tv thar you can connect the red, yellow, and white cords to it should work. I have an old box tv and it doesn't give me any trouble

if your older TV has the red green and blue outputs it should work. the red yellow and white will not work

Im not a subject matter expert but I would say yes, it will work with your analog/digital converter box. Here lies the potential why:http://www.ebay.com/gds/NO-SUCH-THING-AS-A-HDTV-ANTENNA/10000000003429040/g.html

If your old TVs do not have built in digital ATSC tuners, then you will still need the converter with this antenna. The antenna is only to receive the signal and it does a great job especially with the amplifier. Any TV made after March 2008 should have a digital ATSC tuner as required by law. Any 2008 or newer VCR, DVD or DVR can also be used as the digital tuner by running the cable from the antenna to such as device and then out to the TV.

it did not work the older tv even though it also has the inputs, bought two and they are not working, work with lots of tvs and cant get this going,goodluck, but you might want to hold off unless someone can give you the answer

Yes, but old TVs require a converter box. This is true no matter what antenna you buy, because the TV channels no longer broadcast in analog. ALL old TVs (and ALL old antennas, for that matter) can still be used, but you need a converter box to use old TVs.

I don't know which unit you have; but Yes this antenna should work well with most of them. You should be fore warned though that you must use a full matched set of antennas' meaning If your unit has two, three, or four antenna's you must replace them all not just one.

Go to RCA's website, download the digital copy of the manual, and look for your particular old receiver. My TV wasn't specifically listed, but there were 4 codes for the brand. The first one worked. Based on my personal experience, I think it will probably work. But, you know, it is only about $7, live dangerously and take a chance!

The local channels have all gone to digital, and if you have a digital tv, this antenna picks up the local stations. It will NOT convert an older tv (analog) to a digital. You still need a digital converter for that.

As long as the cable is connected to the antenna and the TV the other end it will work but it has to be the same cable. If you have a older TV you will have to get the converter box and connect the cable to the box first then to the TV. I know someone who has the converter box and hooked it up that way and it works for her. You can always look on youtube to see how to hook it up just do a TV converter box hook up search at youtube. Hope I helped

Yes, but you will have to have a digital converter box for the older TV sets. I bought one on Amazon that I liked.I got "Zinwell ZAT-970A Digital to Analog TV Converter Box (for Antenna Use)". It worked great. However, the price for new LED TVs is so cheap these days, you're better off replacing the old set. That's what I eventually did.

Yes. As long as the tv is not connected to a cable box. Works with antenna tv.

Yes it will work with old analog systems for the US. The unit outputs both RF channel 3 or 4 as wellas analog composite NTSC
