Yes, for best results use a powered USB hub, for a small package it works better with more power, especially for HD channels. I use it with the Sanoxy IR remote control, it would be drag without it. You also need an antenna. A high direct view of downtown where most local stations are is best.

The "Yes" answers to this question conflict with responses on other questions - I think you can attach an antenna to the device and it will pick up the channels - you do NOT need cable tv or a tv - my understanding is that is the device is basically a tv receiver (without a monitor).

It needs to be connected physically to a computer. We have cable that is direct and also WiFi, it has worked with both. The tuner screws one end into a cable and the other end into computer via USB.

Yes it does. It connects to a usb port. You will use windows media center for software. That will be Windows 7 media center. If you have an older windows you will have to go to Avert support to download a driver. The information is in the little installation guide sent with the tuner. Hope this helps.. I have it on my computer and get over the air digital tv and it works great.

It would connect your tv to wifi, though your tv might not have the software two interact with the network. Check and see if your tv software can be upgraded to surf the internet, if not your wasting your time and money.

I'm not sure what you are attempting to do with a tv, this wireless unit has a cd with drivers on it, I really believe that this is geared for for a computer rather than a Tv set. As for as with a computer the wireless unit works great. Most of the smart tv's already have wifi built in.

You need to have a wifi router of some kind if you want to connect to anything. However, there is a USB port. You might try hooking up a USB hub or something, and run a conventional wired network instead. I have not tried that. I generally hang this off a television (literally) and hook up a mouse to the USB port. Then I can watch things like Youtube and Netflix with it.

For internet connectivity, it works on Wifi also, you don't need an Ethernet cable. However, you need a HDMI cable to connect it to TV.

Yes. Connect either with hdmi or RCA audio video jacks. Offcourse an Internet connection is needed.

Well I'm not sure. We have wifi set up in our home but I don't think the product needs it to function properly.

No internet connection required for local broadcast TV. I use an indoor antenna (RCA Model 1251, an amplified antenna), connected to the HVR850 USB HDTV to receive Over The Air broadcast TV. Gets the higher powered local stations well with rabbit ear adjustments.

If your asking can you hook a wireless router to this the answer is yes. You have to connect the unit to your TV with a HDMI cable. You can also run an Ethernet cable from your modem to the unit if you do not have a router. I have all 3 of my units connected to my wireless router.

Yes you can. It will work very well. You need to configure it with your wireless router. It will be connected to usb on your tv for power and the other cable to Ethernet connection on your tv. No drivers needed, tv "thinks" it is connected to a wired network. I used it with my Panasonic tv. It works like a charm.

The Belkin only connects you wirelessly to your home's wireless network. The HDMI port on your TV does not know how to process an Internet signal through HDMI. You would need some intermediate device connected to the Belkin and then to the TV to do what you want. You are better off buying an inexpensive Blu ray player that is Internet Ready and has Smart TV capability to do the job for you. You can find them as low as $50 which is not much more than the Belkin device.

No. The best way to do that is wirelessly through a device called Apple TV (it's not a TV), which connects to your TV.

If your TV has Ethernet connection socket, then this device can help you connect the TV to internet. The device is able to harness WiFi signal and output it through Ethernet port. Then you can connect your TV through Ethernet cable.

The TV comes Wi-Fi ready. It has an internal WiFi connection. So as long as you have a wireless router the TV will connect with little issue.

I use a widi connection, you only need a device if your TV is not widi compatible. I believe I have a dlink widi device for my TV.NETGEAR Push2TV Wireless Display

If you have a router and are already set-up with WiFi you do not need an adaptor to set-up the Smart TV. The TV does the work for you.
