can this be used on the old tv's with the converter box?

I assume it would. But just so you know, I only got one extra channel (Fox) with this antennae compared to an older one.

Yes. Be sure if it is an old TV that you connect the RCA 1650 to the digital converter, then connect the converter to the TV. Will work just fine.

The cable which connects to your TV is coaxial. If your TV doesn't have that type of connection (same as cable TV), you could use the old adapter that changes the coaxial to the red and white plug.

I'm not positive but I think you will need the converter for any tv that doesn't have an internal analog to digital converter. I have a tv that doesn't have the internal converter so it cannot receive the local digital channels with an antenna alone.

Not sure what convert box is. This product receives satellite (wireless) signal and feed it to TV via co-axial cable.

Yes, you can, if the tv is digital, but you don't get to much channels; at least I didn't get enough channels. With the converter box I got much more channels. Maybe the area that you live has better recession that my area.

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.

This coverter WILL NOT WORK for a 110- 120 volt TV. If the TV is designed to run on 12 volts, or 9 volts and draws less than 2 amps, then yes.( it should do the Job)

I just connected to the cable and was good to go. Older TV's need a converter box.

Yes it will work as long as the old tv at least has rca input (yellow for video, red and white for audio.) There is a chance you need a cable card to put in the slot but usually you dont need it unless you have premium channels that require decoding.

No it does NOT need a converter box. It's a digital television. All it needs is an air antenna to get network television.

Sure. How well it works will depend on several factors, including the strength of the received signal, quality of the coax splitter, length and quality of all connecting coax lines, etc. Also, when you mention converter boxes, what boxes are you referring to? Any TV of any kind of recent vintage includes an OTA tuner, so you likely don't need a converter box at all. If you have an older TV without an OTA tuner, you might need one, but keep in mind that you're likely sacraficing any high-definition content.

It depends on if your TV is HD ready. If not, you will not receive the HD signal without the converter box.

You can if you have a digital tv. Flat panel or the like. Older tvs need a converter box

No, you do not need a converter box; It is capable of decoding ATSC and NTSC signals. Converter boxes are only needed for older analog televisions.

No, if your tv is analogic, you will have to connect the antenna to the converter

Yes, it works very well with a digital signal converter box. I bought this antenna to use with my converter box. Since I've upgraded my televisions, I don't need the converter box any longer, however, I kept the antenna to plug into my television and it works great.

the unit i received didn't even work. but to answer your question, most tv's nowadays are 100-240V so you probably won't need a converter. check the back of your tv.

Hey - not sure what an 'old SD' style TV is but I'm using the converter box on an old Projection TV and it works good. The antenna is kind of flimsy so I got a sturdier one to use with the converter.

If it was for local channels only you could have skiped the converter box and connected stright into your new TV. Try this first.
