do you have to have a cable network?

No, you do not need a cable network. This antenna is for basic digital television. All you need is a television converter box. A converter box (if you don't know) is a box that allows your TV to read digital signals and is what was made necessary to watch regular television after digital TV took over a couple of years ago.

absolutely not, this is an internet router and has nothing at all to do with cable tv, except for the fact my internet comes threw the tv cable line from time warner, i dont even have a tv, just a computer and monitor. the cable companies have you over the barrel you have to buy or rent a box for each additional tv.

"Cable"? As in, pay a provider for TV? NO! A strong internet connection would be nice, but not necessary. Depends on how you wanna use it

if you keep cable subscription and install a cable card that they are required to provide the answer is yes. But you must connect it to A computer that has windows Media Center installed and be cable ready. most modern computers are cable ready but HDMI out is best.

Not sure if this answers you or not , but we ran a cable wire and we have cable tv on this. We get most of the cable stations without having a cable box. We love this under the counter tv in our kitchen.

No. You need to add a wireless router as a component in your network. All a cable modem does is take the cable signal (coax) and convert it to ethernet. Then an ethernet output from the modem can be connected to a computer directly, or to a wireless router to establish a network.

I kept one, still needs it's own cable card and monthly service. If you just want to network them, you don't need a cable card but I think you still need the monthly service.

You do not need "Cable TV" to use the Roku. You will need an internet connection to stream movies and tv shows from online services like Netflix and Amazon

It will give you the ability to watch over the air channels such as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS in high definition. You cannot watch cable channels using an antenna.

I don't think you need cable. If you already have a router and a home network, the TV will find it automatically. You just need to put in your password. Hope this helps

You will more than likely need a antenna, in my experience. You can set it up as basic cable with OTA.

If you are in an area with over the air broadcast, then yes you will receive those local channels. You are not going to receive cable TV.

Yes. You will need at least two units to set up a network. The "internet" signal between the units runs over the RF "TV" cables running between rooms. On one end you will connect the unit's ethernet port to your internet router. On the other end, you can connect your receiving device (computer, streaming or game box, etc.) to the second unit's ethernet port to access the internet. The device will have one RF port "in" (wall/signal) and one "out" (TV/receiver) and at least one ethernet port. Communication on the ethernet cable is two way, so you don't need an ethernet "in" and "out" port to support a single device. If you have a model with multiple ethernet ports, you can connect separate devices to each port. Yes. You will need at least two units to set up a network.
