is this for non-cable tv?

Yes, this is for non-cable free tv. It picks up Over The Air TV (OTA) signals. Big network channels like ABC, CBS, NBC, and other smaller networks, send their signal over the air which are free to pick up with antennas like this one. I mounted mine to a pole that is strapped to my chimney and stands about 25 feet off the ground. I pick up about 45 channels and many in High Definition. I entered my address on a website (TVfool.com) which told me which signals are close and where to point my antenna.

You can plug in a composite, S-video, or HDMI cable from a cable box. It does not support a coaxial (or "TV") cable.

Ananth probably does not have a cable box. I do not have cable box, and, I was also looking for a similar (coaxial?) input port.From the picture I thought it was for cable, but, soon realized it is for FM.

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.

To me it's kind of a waste to use it on a non HD TV. The TV pass through is one of the best features and it works via HDMI cable. So an HD TV and HD Cable or satellite package is essential to get the full benefit.

Yes, it has cable in and cable out to TV. We bought the actual cables at Amazon, but other stores have them. They are under $5.00!

Yes it works without cable TV, but don't work if you have satellite connected on the coax, also you will need the kit ( adapter on both ends)

No, those are cable channels. It picks up local channels that are broadcasting in your area.

Yes, you must use an HDTV antenna as this device does not work with cable TV.

I don't have cable tv, so I really don't know what kind of connection is needed for a cable box, so I can't answer the question -- sorry!

I would certainly THINK so--you SHOULD be able to watch regular cable TV on ANY modern TV as far as I know. HOWEVER, I don't use cable nor satellite at all.

It appears to be new and I used it without cable, as it is certainly intended to be used for receiving TV signals without cable. I doubt it would work hooked up to a cable box even if you changed the TV source to antenna. I don't recommend this antenna for either use as it did not pick up the signal for as many stations as I had hoped.

I own this tv and don't have cable. I use Wii to watch Netflix or Amazon in this tv. Hope this helps.

Yes you will need a cable card to make this work. If you are just wanting TV on your computer there are several other options to look at including http://www.hauppauge.com/. Hope that helps.

Michael based on the documentation provided all indicates specifically for cable tv only. However if you go to their web site there are other units you use. Get the model number then search it on amazon. Also i believe their link for the model you are looking for may route you back to amazon. This unit is pretty solid and has not failed me yet with the cable and modem. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

It has a coax connector, it isn't a digital converter though so you'll need a digital TV or a converter.

The TV has all the standard inputs. So connecting to cable should not be a problem.
