Kevin, the simple answer is a tv antenna connected to the back of tv into antenna input. Without knowing where you live or any other details it's hard to help. Connect 'rabbit ears' to back-go to menu-click on channels-click on 'air' and do a channel scan. You should get some channels. Paul

You can use an antenna but this is not for digital over-the-air tv. This product is obselete in the USA.

I would certainly THINK so--you SHOULD be able to watch regular cable TV on ANY modern TV as far as I know. HOWEVER, I don't use cable nor satellite at all.

you should be able to do that. My mother's tv is straight cable,no vcr or cable box.

A web browser would help to get current year epiosdes of network TV as well as the local news. If I could get that fully operational, why would I need cable at all. $90 is better in my pocket than theri pocket. I need access to current year shows, local news and sports,

Yes, with device hooked between your antenna and your TV you can watch free over-the-air broadcast TV as long as you are within range of those broadcast signals. If you live in or near a major city you should have no problem even with an interior antenna. If you live more than 30 miles from the broadcast source you will need an exterior antenna. In either case you will get more channels and a better picture if you upgrade any existing antenna to a "digital" antenna. I made my own. I live 120 miles from Phoenix and currently receive 42 digital channels. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/how-to/tv/build-your-own-digital-tv-antenna

If that is your only video source, then yes. You can also connect to off-air antenna or even satellite.

Depends on what you are looking for. There are a few Live broadcasts from independant networks such as TheBlaze. You can watch live or on demand. MSNBC, Fox, and others have highlights on their channels. I think there is a push to be able to do live tunning in like with a cable box, but the cable companies have a vested interest in not letting you.

No... this antenna only receives over-the-air signals (like the "old fashioned" "rabbit-ears"). Unless Fox News or CNN broadcasts over-the-air, you'll have to resort to your cable service :-( to get these stations.

As long as the provider does not require it to watch the channels you want then no. Local SD and HD channels over the air should work fine.

Or, if you split the cable wire, you can plug in and use the slingbox's internal tuner independent of the tv. Of course, this will only work for analog cable or Local over the air broadcast stations.

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

It depends on the internet connect you have. In addition, you may need to get a cable card from your cable provider.

Over the air digital TV only or online streaming media like YouTube. You can record while you watch anything else...... Where would you find analog TV broadcast signals these days anyways? ;-)

You dont need cable but you do need an Internet connection with at least 10mb down.

Just plug it in to your tv. Go to your tv settings and change them to antenna. As long as your tv can digitally decode the free airwave channels your good. If your tv doesn't support the HD digital waves you'll have to get a decoder. I'm sure Amazon sells them on here.

Absolutely not. Either an internet connection is required for most Channels. Only a network connection is required to play local content on your network.
