Unless you are on cable or satellite, you will need an antenna for Over-The-Air local broadcasts. Just like any TV. If you have strong local channels, a simple rabbit ears will probably work fine.

I don't know why you would need an antenna with satellite TV, but you can buy a coax adapter that has one connection on one end to connect to your TV and two connections on the other end to connect two devices (satellite and antenna).

No - it's just an antenna with a signal amplifier. You'll still have to buy/obtain a separate unit for converting the new digital signals to analog.

No, you have to get your own. I made sure to get a really good one, and this radio has been excellent because of the good antenna.

Yes. We used with an antenna as well. Nice TV. Better than I thought for the price.

To whom it may benefit. One needs a RG59U coaxial cable for hook up. You can get a antenna pole at Radio Shack and guy wire for tie downs. At Radio Shack get a in line ground block for a grounding pipe-copper stake. Remember, the higher the antenna obviously more stations you'll get. Yours Truly, Gary

No. Antenna only. But uses standard F connector cables which you can get from Radio Shack or if you want better quality for less, Amazon.

Yes you will need one with a digital tuner, simply because the regular tv radio uses radio signals which are analog, not digital.

Yes, an antenna is NOT supplied with the receiver. You must buy your own HD antenna. The good thing is there's plenty of good antennas available now, and very affordable. Best luck!

Sorry I was gone for 5 days....just got back. I bought the RCA antenna and love it; I just checked all the reviews and I paid more for the RCA but wanted it to be easy to install and work great and it does! I'm not an electric person so I don't know about antenna's--I just went by the reviews. And yes you need an antenna with the converter box if it's not hooked up to cable or you won't get any reception. Pam

The broadcast signals are digital so you will need a converter box (digital to analog) no matter the antenna you use. Antenna&gt;Converter Box &gt; TV

you can use any type of antenna with a co-axial connection (the type you twist & screw). i use a regular pair of $5 "rabbit ears". also, i live in a large city...so signal reception is great and rarely an issue. my box is connected to my tv with an HDMI connection (not included).

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

depends on how close you are to station, mine does not need an antenna but picks a lot more up with it.

Just the antenna. You would need to but coaxial cable(you can use the same one cable company install in your house and signal booster(optional)

Yes, you can. However, you have to buy the one that states that it will work with an antenna. Some of their models work only with cable.

The further you live from a city the more it will cost for an HD digital antenna. Do your home work and shop around there is a lot of junk on the market. Ask your neighbors and see what they use.
