How can you make the cube pick up local channels.?

Unless they are part of your satellite subscription, and you are within your sat service area, you can't. If you're addressing RV usage, use the roof-top antenna.

Howdy Ron, If the company you deal with already gives you local channels then you can receve them, but only if you stay in you local area for reception. Meaning for example if you live and receive local service in the Philadelphia pa. area and you travel to Virginia, or anywhere outside you local service area, you'll not be able to receive any local service no matter what. I hope i've been of some help. I know this to be fact as I've tried from all over the U.S.. If you leave you home local service you'll not receive the local stations....that's the bottom line! Thanks! Carl

There is a plugin called Alien BBC that will do the trick. Install it through the computer control interface.

There is a dip switch to change the channel. You can keep them on the same channel or another.

Not sure what model you have. The HDTVI is not omni-directional. I can tell you that you won't get as many channels without an amplifier. And I have found that these "omni-directional" antennae still need to be pointed in a certain direction to better pick up a signal.

This is for over the air channels only, so it will pick up any local channels that transmit over the air.

I also have an outdoor UHF flat panel antenna. One interesting fact is that Windows Media Center will try the second input if the signal is too weak on the first one. So if you have two separate antennas aimed in different directions, you can automatically receive and record channels from two different cities. Very cool.

You should be able to pick up basic, over the air, broadcast TV stations in your local area.

Mine picks up channels. Coverage and channels available depend on where you live.

It has a digital tuner, so you can hook this directly to an antenna and pick up local over the air HD channels

No this will not take the place of the digital box. Only bring in channels clear that it can pick up, mostly local channel.

You might want to try a cheap amplified antenna. I live in an area where the signals are all weak and got nothing until I connected an indoor amplified antenna and now I get all the stations available.

Any channels picked up by an over the air antenna are going to be your local stations..........CBS, ABC, NBC, maybe FOX, etc. It will NOT pick up anything like ESPN, CNN, etc. as these are cable or satellite channels. It will also pick up your local PBS channels. I live in a fringe area and get 14 local channels with a different version of the same antenna. If you want more than just your locals, you probably need to get something like a Roku and use your internet. But for basic, local channels......this cannot be beat. Hope this helps.

No. Only local channels. Please make sure you have the antenna near a window or you will get a stutter in your incoming signal.

Works fine for me in the same setup. Get 45+ channels. I don't hang it by the window...

If you receive local channels at home. You may not get them in other startes

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