I have local channels through a cable box. Will it work with that?

If the local channels are clear QAM - then it may find them. To determine if the channels are in clear QAM, see if you can use a HDTV to tune to the channels. Sorry, don't have cable to verify if this module can tune in to the cable channels (versus OTA).

I also get local channels from Dish. This unit will still get any off air channels within range including the ones on dish

As long as you have Internet, this will work. It worked with non digital channels on my end.

Thank you. But if I did have a cable box this would work for live tv? Football season is just around the corner. Thank you again

No, those are cable channels. It picks up local channels that are broadcasting in your area.

No, you must use a cable card from your cable provider. With the cable card you will receive the digital channels you are subscribed to. I have been using the 4 channel receiver now for at least one year and it works great.

Yes, it will pick up local "over the air" channels. These added channels show up on the "grid" and can be recorded on the Hopper DVR.

It should, it all depends on where you live and how far you are from the broadcasting stations. For me it picks up over 80 channels all of my local channels plus multiple ethnic channels from Spanish to Vietnamese. It is the best antenna I've had, definitely worth the money. I should not you either need a television with a built in digital converter or a desperate digital to analog box.

It will work. I have my connected through optical cable box connection and works great.

Yes, I bought it for my father and it works with cable unless the tv itself gets off channel 3.

There are codes in the instruction booklet for direct tv so I would suppose it would work just like it does for my cable box.

Hello, I have the same set up as you. With this box I can only record the local stations. If there is a show that cable offers on their basic plan I can not record it unless it is in the area. I was hoping that this unit would pick up the unscrambled channels which are about 75 stations, from the cable line, but it does not do that for me.

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 if you have a cable subscription or not, if you do, you will receive only local channels, some in HD as well...for premium channels like espn or cnn you must have a cable box... been there, done that..Comcast customer here...

Your cable channels and your internet package literally have nothing to do with one another. This is for cable internet, nothing to do with cable television. So yes, it will work, as long as you actually have an internet package with them.

Yes it will. follow the instructions in the operations manual. It gives you step by step instructions on how to hook it to an outside antenna and an inside antenna. It even has instructions on how to hook it up to cable and configure for a channel guide for your area. If you have a Windows 7 op system media center is part of it.

NO. This unit ONLY works with ATSC over the air digital channels. It will not work with cable TV signals at all.
