Do you need a converter to watch broadcast?

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. The program you get from their website (free,) has a built in broadcast module. Just set it up, start playing and broadcasting in one go.

No well it depends on I there anything wrong with the TV right now the TV has a av cable hook up and a cable wire hook up should work fine so no converter box is needed unless one of them don't work and I don't think you will have a problems with that though anyway if there is something wrong with is and there shouldnt be you can always return it

If your TV is NOT set up for digital, and you can find this on your remote if it says A/D, (analogue, digital), then yes, you will need a converter. Spend as much money on this as you can afford because there is a lot of junk. I know because I bought a cheap one for the kitchen TV. I hope this helps. Terry

Yes you will need a digital converter box & you won't get as many channels with this antenna as you do with Comcast. It's really not worth the money.

No, it has its own tuner, but you'll need to hook it up to a tv-viewer or its equivalent.

If you have a television that already has a digital and an analogue tuner in it, do you still need a converter box for this?

yes but it is an NTSC (analog) not ATSC (digital) tuner. you will still need a convertor box to record over the air television

The broadcast signals are digital so you will need a converter box (digital to analog) no matter the antenna you use. Antenna&gt;Converter Box &gt; TV

Eddy, Most HD TVs will pick up the digital signals (older HD "ready" models require a converter box). So, you shouldn't need a converter box to receive the digital signals, just an antenna. This box will not pick up any digital channels without using an antenna as well. However, if you do need a converter box, I would not recommend this one. I had one and it went out after a few months.

Yes. It has it's own built in digital tuner. All you need is a direct feed from a antenna or cable. However, most providers are shifting over to digital signals that require their decoder box in order to view those channels. So your available channels are limited to channels that have not been converted by the cable or satellite company yet. Antenna reception will pick up any broadcast digital signal. Hope that helps.

It depends on if your TV is HD ready. If not, you will not receive the HD signal without the converter box.

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.

No conversion should be necessary. This connects directly from your antenna coax into the Dish receiver. Your locals will be integrated into the channel list.

If your old TVs do not have built in digital ATSC tuners, then you will still need the converter with this antenna. The antenna is only to receive the signal and it does a great job especially with the amplifier. Any TV made after March 2008 should have a digital ATSC tuner as required by law. Any 2008 or newer VCR, DVD or DVR can also be used as the digital tuner by running the cable from the antenna to such as device and then out to the TV.
