I own this and it does not work with my old box tvs, even when its plugged into the coaxial screw. Could I be doing something wrong? Thanks.

I've had no trouble using this antenna on both the old type as well as the new digital tvs. Are you hooked up to a recording device because thathas to be a certain way.

I love this antenna, and even though I do not have cable, it is connected to a small HDTV and I get all of the local channels and more that I used to have to use the converter box to get with old TV's. I have no reservations in recommending it. Hope that helps. Oh, and reception is excellent, picture very clear.

If it is a old TV then you need a digital to analog converter box. You plug the Philips antenna into the converter box and then plug the converter box into the coaxial TV plug. Here is Youtube video that might help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGqbp5gSQOQ

Mine is connected directly to the TV. After the TV completed the scanning process., I had 15+ channels. Also, you may have to move the antenna to a clear location near a window.

I bought this for the same exact reason and it didn't work, I had an hdtv worth component out and this didn't work. Someone told me that I would need a powered one, dunno, sold my old tv and bought a new flat screen..problem solved. lol

Yes, thats what the conveter box doez. Just connect the coax to the tv in on the conveter box an the tv out to your tv or use one of the other output to one of the tv input

Is there a reason that you don't want to use the coaxial input on the TV? The signal from the TV station transmitter is in HDTV format.(1080 DPI) Unless it a monitor TV, then you will have to get a DVT to HDMI converter.

Joann, the receiving unit must be plugged into your TV using the two audio and one video jacks (red and white for audio and yellow for video). If your "standard tv" only has the coax input (the one used to screw in the cable or antenna wire) then this will not work without also purchasing a converter. If your TV has the red, white and yellow input jacks, this will work.

The coax from antenna goes to the input on the box, the other coax goes to input of TV. The other connector on the box is for a second TV. Power on the control box and everything should work.

Yep. Mine works perfectly! There have been some hiccups when connecting the display port chord, but that could just as easily be on my tv's end. You should be good!

I was trying to hook up my new Sony Blu-Ray player and my Motorola cable box connected to my Mitsubishi WS-65908 1080i component TV, but I could not get it to work. I tried several different settings on all 3 devices, but nothing worked, so I returned it.

Mine works fine, I just have to make sure that I point it at the right angle. Double check bateries in remote and clean receiver on remote, if your still finding difficulties contact the seller.

I bought 2 of them & they both worked. Make sure they are compatible with your TV. check the buttons to see if they are the same!

Cesar, I found that it won't work if I connect it to a TV that's already on. connecting it before turning on the tv has worked for me.

first you'll have to look on the back of your tv where it will plug in. This particular piece is square all the way around and the input slot for it on your tv might be rounded on two edges, mine was and it also was an lg and I had to send it back but they were good enough to credit me back. Hope this helps.

Sure. How well it works will depend on several factors, including the strength of the received signal, quality of the coax splitter, length and quality of all connecting coax lines, etc. Also, when you mention converter boxes, what boxes are you referring to? Any TV of any kind of recent vintage includes an OTA tuner, so you likely don't need a converter box at all. If you have an older TV without an OTA tuner, you might need one, but keep in mind that you're likely sacraficing any high-definition content.
