What equipment is needed to view local stations when you do not have cable or satellite?

If you have an antenna, you can plug the coax cable directly into the TV. I have used the antenna on my RV, as long as you are close enough to the station transmitters. Line of sight is best, but you can also get a bounce, but not as reliable. You can also plug it into cable that is available at RV parks.

Also, this unit has a built in tuner so if you live in an area without cable you can record TV shows without a cable or Dish box.

Hi, yes you will need an antenna to get local channels. If you don't need local channels, then "no". We do have ports that you can add third party devices to television (dvd/directv).

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.

Only if your local programming offers it, Note: an antenna only picks up over the air channels

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.

The "Yes" answers to this question conflict with responses on other questions - I think you can attach an antenna to the device and it will pick up the channels - you do NOT need cable tv or a tv - my understanding is that is the device is basically a tv receiver (without a monitor).

Well, I can get several local TV stations without a cable box. I removed the Verizon box and it picks up about 20 stations. And they come in better without the box.

You can get a digital attena to get free air channels ( without the digital Attena, TV won't be able to get all free channels in your area doing to signal interference) or get a cable/satelite box to get pay channels

Yes, I live where there is no computer access. Only thing is I may need a HDTV signal filter because when I turn on my new TV it causes a lot of static on the scanner to the point I have to turn the scanner off to watch TV. The scanner works great without the HDTV on. I'll call Radio Shack, maybe they can help me.

Satellite only..... they make a digital antenna (Jack Digital Hdtv Antenna) that works very well for picking up over-the-air local stations.

yes, you need antenna and antenna is not included. You could by a very cheap rabbit antenna. Do not buy any costly antenna, because it will not make any difference.
