A converter box takes a digital signal (from an antenna or from cable) and outputs an analog signal for your old-style TV or for a VCR. We have a new, digital TV, but we record with our VCR, which needs an analog signal. So we split (co-ax splitter--very inexpensive) the digital signal from our antenna: one half to the TV, one half to the converter box (and on into the VCR). The VCR plugs into our AV1 port on the digital TV. Complicated, and we need three remotes to record (TV remote to switch to AV1, VCR remote to be sure we're on Channel 3 (the converter box's output), and the converter box remote to switch channels. But it works, and the tapes can be reused. A converter box takes a digital signal (from an antenna or from cable) and outputs an analog signal for your old-style TV or for a VCR.

Yes. If you're accessing OTA TV programming. The unit converts analog to digital but you need an antenna to bring in the signal from the television towers in your area.

NO! Has an chinsy wire external antenna. I live in a high rise condo that is very tough reception, got no reception. Cheap little clock radios at least get a couple stations

The unit comes with antenna so you will get radio reception. For TV you need to connect a cable from the conversion box.

You have to have an internal/inside antenna. But I recommend getting the newer version of this unit.

Sorry to report,it does not have provision for antenna...that's the only drawback...

No - you have to provide it yourself. I dumped this antenna as it did not pick up stations only 35 miles away. Replaced with a "Lava" style that cost a lot less and works a lot better.

You know I am not sure about antennas, I have never had to purchase one... I am sorry.

Sure. I use a mobile antenna for my 2 meter base station, though I will set it on the air conditioner unit outside for a good ground.

No. Just a signal from AT&T; where you install the antenna and an electrical outlet where you install the amplifier.

Mine came with a antenna. If I was looking for a replacement I would try radio shackI hope this helps you.

No it doesnt. I is a good antenna. Depending on your location and signal strengh you may not need one. Try it first to see how your reception is. You can always add one if you need it. Log onto tvfool.com to see your local reception .

The unit comes with wiring, antenna, adapters. Only thing necessary is the radio. Batteries for portable use are not included. However, batteries for the remote are.

Don't know about the first question. It does come with a antenna, but it's just a very small box, size of a ring box maybe that you put on your windshield. It does come with instructions and everything you need to hook it up.

There is an internal antenna built into the unit. An external antenna is used when the unit is installed on an inner cabin of a big boat. When the unit is installed in an open air position the internal antenna is more than enough for the unit to perform flawlessly. I use mine with no antenna and I could not be happier with the way my unit has worked for me. John
