what about cable channels?

This is NOT a satellite antenna. It is only for over the air broadcast stations. Since over the air broadcast went to digital, most air broadcast stations have sub-stations. That means there are many more over the air stations than were available when over the air was analog. With the new improved over the air stations and the sub-stations there is no reason to pay the high rates of cable and satellite. Give the new antennas a try.

Just make sure you go into your tv settings and select antenna as the input, and then make it scan for channels. We use two of these as weather-back-ups here in FL when the cable goes out. I usually get around 20-25 channels

Raymond:As most cable channels are now scrambled, you will probably need to obtain a STB (set-top-box) from Verizon. As cable companies use several makes/models of STB's, and the outputs of these boxs vary widely, suggest you post your questions in the following forum:http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=940657&page;=508

It depends on the internet connect you have. In addition, you may need to get a cable card from your cable provider.

No, only over the air free channels. The ones you are asking about come with a satellite or cable commitment.

Yes, however, you do have to check to see if any channels that you would watch a game on are copy-protected by your cable company. Mainstream network television is usually fine but other channels tend to be blocked when not on your home network.

I cannot. It receives local channels, not channels which would be pay for view on cable. Although I do get excellent HD reception.

I got rid of my cable and only have the Roku. I do have subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu (for most of the TV programs). There are so many other channels on the Roku I can watch news, food channels, outdoor channels, and so many other channels that I would have received through cable. Each month more channels become available, you just have to keep an eye out each month.

yes. you will only get channels provided by your basic cable subscription. to take full advantage of this device you need to subscribe for internet speed through your cable provider. then you will have an abundance of options to watch.

Yep! Just be sure to ask for a multi-stream CableCard. It's easier to have them set it up, I think...

I only have broadcast tv, no cable.....I'm sure it would decode regular cable, just not premium channels

Yes but you will not be able to pick up a lot of channels. I know that I can only get about 5 channels.

Hello, I'm not well versed in radio wave frequencies (uhf/vhf). I can tell you I get all the network channels 2-5-7-9 etc. and other non cable channels. It's enough for me.

I don't have cable, so I'm not an expert. I think all of the cable stations bring in over-the-air channels except those they decide to block. If you want to receive the blocked stations, my guess is that you could disconnect the cable, hook up the digital antenna and view the station. But I'm not sure.

no, you need a cable converter and cable service. Do people still get cable?

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.

I had to use a directional antenna to get my local channels. I live 15 miles from the TV tower. I never used this TV on cable.
