How is this converter connected to the outlet? By a plug, or a converter? The antenna that comes with it,is it as powerful as theTuxtronic DT405?

This is plug in to the outlet and connected to the TV. The antenna is not that powerful. We use this in the kitchen which faces to the back of the building. So we do not get many channels. We do get the basic channels 2,4,5,7, and some Spanish channels. I am not familiar with the tuxtronic DT 405 so I can't comment on that. This item worked for us since we don't spend too much time in the kitchen. Just did not want to pay TWC any more money.

Connects w/ coaxel cord-round w/prong....& antenna is better than bunnyears but not the best (its hand sized) but u don't HAVE to use it...thinking about getting better one myself. The converter box id GREAT, uses USB to record stuff

The power comes through the coaxial cable. . There is no extra power needed to the antenna. The box inside the however, has to be connected to a power outlet.

The unit plugs into a regular 120 volt wall outlet (AC). Mine is mounted in my basement, near a window. The boundary wire that is buried in my yard connects into the transmitter through a small hole I drilled into the window frame. The transmitter plugs directly into the wall outlet in the basement.

It is not powered, it is a passive antenna. Just plug it in and position it where you get the best reception for your application. Good luck

If you have a HDTV, you do not need a converter: simply connect the antenna to the TV. If your TV is not HD, you will need to connect the antenna to the converter and then a cable from the converter to the TV.(in-out positions are marked)

I do not remember if it came with a converter, but yes, it works with a converter. That's how I am using it right now.

UPDATE...Forgot to tell you: Take a look at "August DTA240 High Gain Digital TV Aerial - Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital Antenna for USB TV Tuner / ATSC Television / DAB Radio - With Magnetic Base" much better!!!! I'm using this now instead of the DTA220 on the USB PCTV adapter.

1. This is an indoor amplifier and was primarily designed to be powered by a usb port on the back of the TV. I have three of these, I only used one. I was hooking it up to an indoor antenna in the same room as the TV. It was a non amplified antenna, I wanted it powered by the TV and not constantly on. It works fine, picture quality was superb. I hooked it up with an Antennas Direct antenna that was a combination VHF-UHF antenna.

I used the sunforce ac/dc power convertor. available from Amazon. Works great and I have used one for my Winegard Dish power supply for several years.I get great boost from my attic antenna and direction pointing is a snap. Can't to test it on my RV

ok,well,as i just stated in my last post, i have already gone to antennaweb.org.and their information must be taken with a grain of salt.the predictions for what you can and cannot get seem to be educated guesses,but do not pan out (at least in my case). but anyway,i already know that knowing the location of a transmitter generally helps.i only want information on different makes of converter boxes.

Hi, MaryAnn - yes that's why we bought it. Now we don't need the little converter box we had been using to grab the antenna signals. The antenna wire (coax from the antenna) goes straight into the Magnavox unit, and then you connect the Magnavox directly to your TV. Works great!

No converter box is needed. Just connect a coax cable from the antenna to the included adapter then to the TV.

This antenna connects with a 75 ohm coax cable. The real problem is that over the air signals are digital and requires your TV set to have a digital tuner; otherwise you would need a converter for this antenna to the best of my knowlage.

The external antenna that I bought for my Sangean Weather Radio has a plug that is very similar to an audio imput plug on a TV or DVD recorder. The external antenna works well on my weather radio.

You won't need a Convertor it has a switching power supply that is auto ranging and frequency sensing. At the most all you will need is a power cord adapter but I believe it came with a European power cord.

Connect antenna to 'RF in' on converter. Connect converter 'RF out' to RTL dongle. Connect converter USB via cable to PC USB port (this provides the 5 volt power to the converter.
