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

Yes this antenna will still work great,but with an analog TV you need the converter box,I recommend you buy it from Amazon because they sell them for 32 dollars and Walmart sells them for 50 bucks. i didn't know that,so i bought one at wall mart for our tv in the bedroom. If you have a HD flat screen digital TV you don;t need the box.

i had this connection before i changed to new comp. VGA male extension from comp to converter, the converter must be analog to dig signal. then add extension from the converter to hdmi tv. must have converter or it won't work

My TV is analog and I pulled signal with no converter box. But the antenna wasn't great for my area, which could have been a geographical issue, but a cheap $10 pair of rabbit ears worked best for me.

I have a digital converter. This antenna is junk and does not work on new or old tvs.

I bought the Philips Digital TV antenna for use with a new flat screen TV. I had previously used a converter box with an older tv, but was unable to pick all channels with it. With the Philips Digital, I'm able to receive 10 channels - the same number I received before the converter box fiasco began.

Ah, crap I'm too late and the answer is gone...um... so does it include it's own cable and what kind will I need? I'm looking at this "RG6 Premium Solid Copper Quad-shield Coaxial Cable" does anyone know if that's the right kind for this antenna?

I bought a 50' cable with one end that screwed into the antenna. Then I went to an electronics shop and bought an adaptor that allowed the other end of cable to attach to my scanner.

when we had cable, brighthouse , cable worked on our standard definition tv without a converter box, i think theres something built into the cable box already. if you only use this magnavox youre going to get over-the-air channels like local and PBS stuff like that and id recommend getting a digital antenna

I wouldn't recomend this one for a first time converter box buyer. This one has way too many problems if all you want to do is watch tv on an older analog tv. I bought this box and I hate it. And NO you don't need a new antenna. My other box (RCA DTA800B1) works fine with my old UHF antenna.

This antenna actually connects through a coaxial port. I have an HDTV and connected this antenna to the coaxial port on my TV I did not use an adapter. You won't need an adapter either it will connect to old model TVs and HDTVs. I should tell you also that this antenna doesn't provide you with the channels that it should. The reception may depend on where you live but I would advise buying it used versus new.

Your TV should have a menu button. Go to antenna setup, then scan the area for channels. I had very bad luck working with Antenna Deals. They sent me the wrong Antenna, so I sent it back. They say they never received it, so I lost $85 plus the $13 in shipping unit back to them. They never provided an RMA number, only an address to ship the unit to. Recently sent them an email, I have still not heard back from them. I would not do any business with Antenna Deals, they are not honest. I then bought the unit from Amazon. Amazon was great. Problem was, the HD 8000 unit did not work. I was not able to scan anything, so Amazon processed the return of the unit. I got a partial refund on that one. I still do not have an antenna. I plan on going to a local retailer to buy one, in case it does not work, so I can return it. I would recommend, not to buy an antenna over the internet. Too many issues may arise. Good luck&gt; Probe

Are you sure you have an analog TV? Please double check. I don't think you need a converter box for this particular TV. If you don't have cable, get an old school antenna.

I have to buy a DTV converter (because my TV was an older model) to and connect the Antenna to that. Also, like a regular Antenna, I had to move it around (I put mine near the window). I hope this helps.

Hi, if you need longer cable, I recommend you to buy 1byone new white/black antenna with 20ft cable. Here is the link, 1byone OUS00-0562 Amplified HDTV Antenna 50 Miles Range with USB Power Supply and 20 Feet Coaxial Cable - White/Black
