No American channels. Only Arabic & a few Turkish, Indian & African channels.

Yes, this unit will allow you to receive local programming. My only complaint (and it may be just my location in Columbus, OH) is that I'm not able to get a signal for any local channels while my car is in motion--- there is actually just one channel that is viewable while in motion and I believe it is transmitted over an ATSC signal. All of the local channels however are viewable when my car is stopped.

Only if your local programming offers it, Note: an antenna only picks up over the air channels

You can watch the free digital channels over the air. Not good quality for analog channels. It is use mostly for digital recording like a recorder.

Look up BestTv online. It will give you a list. As long as you have internet, you wil get all the channels. I believe this is no matter what state you live in.

Yes local only. We live 30 miles from 4 stations and we receive 2 of them. I have three of these radios and really like them all. Good reception on both AM and FM also.

Wish I had an answer for you, but I threw the darn thing in the trash. Couldn't get any local channels - only Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Arab stations and I live about 27 miles from D.C. I wouldn't waste my money on this.

Wish there was some legal device out there that could pick up cable channels; It works on broadcast channels in your area only. I get ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, 3 PBS channels and two more that are a bit fuzzy at times. Happy with the channels I can watch, not a tv addict.

Depends on where you are. In a major city (where I am) I receive abc, nbc, cbs, 2 fox channels, ion, an old movie station, pbs, and some random ones like asian gospel and spanish stations. It's plenty for me. I imagine if you're out in the country you would receive less.

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.

depends if you have a cable subscription or not, if you do, you will receive only local channels, some in HD as well...for premium channels like espn or cnn you must have a cable box... been there, done that..Comcast customer here...

We use an over the air antenna for the local channels. It picks up around 20 channels and they are all high definition.

Sorry to say, those are all cable or satellite channels and only available through those services. I would like to have them without a Directv Subscription myself. Or at least pick then alacart instead of through their packages.
