does this get international channels

Yes it does, but only Radio Havana and CRI (Chinese Radio International) are in English. The short wave also seems to get a ton of American Evangelists who are constantly screaming that we are all going to hell. Aside from that there are some Spanish language stations that come in clearly.

It does. But it has a very sensitive tuning dial. And as with most shortwave the time of day and weather conditions make a big difference in what you can tune in. Bought it for my don to use for Boy Scouts Radio Merit Badge.

Yes, it is a shortwave radio. I get broadcast from Asia, Austrailia, and other languages I dont recognize.

As others have said, they are difficult to tune in. I tried it just once or so & it was impossible(daytime, middle of the city). I bought it for the standard am/fm stereo & that works great, but for buyers shopping for the shortwave(international) radios, I'd really recommend digital tuning type with digital display. Analog dial with the needle indicator & tiny numbers seem to add even more to the challenge.

It seems like it. You can search by country or genre... there are an unbelievable amount of channels available!

if u r in the U.S or france, it doesn't include any MBC channel and even Al Jazeeras not included.I bought this product and I regret it completely.even if it has the channels u wants it crashes down a lot and too expensive.my advice, NEVER buy it.

my guess is no, it won't work b brazil. frequency assignments for broadcast are likely different.

No, only over the air free channels. The ones you are asking about come with a satellite or cable commitment.

I'm not sure if it can handle foreign outlet but it works on a standard American outlet. HTH.

This product was designed to work in the US market, so be careful with which frequencies/channels you have this set to; your selected channel may not be allowed in whatever country you're taking this to.

I don't know. It does not work very well in the US so I doubt that it will work anywhere. There are many other HDTV antenna choices that are much, much better.

You are liekly to have an issue with the tuner, too. It may not pick up foreign stations. Check with your intended location.

You have to set it to international mode first. There are instructions in the reviews somewhere or I think you can google it. The mode is hidden, but it's there. Most US stations don't go down that far, so it should be fairly clear most anywhere in the US.

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.

I really dont know the answer for that question. I recieve all channels in my area

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

Am not sure. You have to check with your service provider to see what frequency they used in your country.

If you are in an area with over the air broadcast, then yes you will receive those local channels. You are not going to receive cable TV.
