If I am in a rest stop on I-95 can I get tv transmission? I am a senior citizen and barely have a cell phone!

You would need some sort of cable box. This monitor is only a screen sourced by RCA cables - think of it kind of like a computer screen.

I just tried the http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ link for the online map in my area. My line of sight is marginal and the distance is about 65 miles. The online map gives me the highest signal strengths on 16 channels. I know the reception of the 4 major broadcast channels at my location to be marginal with one basically no reception. So don't put a lot into trusting the online map.

Yes and you must be tuned to a /mh standard station. Not all digital tv is meant for moving carrs

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

I bought the unit for my parent in law. They used it to watch TV program from China. I don't know if it can receive local channels. The signals aren't very good.

If you have a roof top antenna you can hook up directlyIf you sub. to sat. or cable you will need their box

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

Yes if you do the mod that is easily found on the net. I did it and from experience I would not repeat the process. I permits marginal CB reception but of course you can't transmit. You won't pick up any of the long range skip like you could with a dedicated CB such as the Galaxy 979 which has upper and lower sideband. Frankly the IQ level of CB transmissions is rarely higher than the channel number you happen to be on. Get your ham technician license I finally took my exam last week and that's the way to go, you'll be glad you did.

Just hook the cable to the back of your tv where your tv in cable goes. That's it. I had no luck receiving any stations. I think I'm too far away from any signal towers.

If you're on cable just call them & have then come out. I am on DISH,mine is set up straight to my telephone.

it should work fine once you google how far the nearest broadcast station is located from where your RV is Parked. Not sure it will bet good connection while Driving

I installed an amplifier and several antenna's but nothing helped, image still breaks up. I took a road trip through several cites in Florida and had the same problem. Only strange thing was while driving around Altanta GA, I had perfect reception of Fox Ch 5 at 65mph for about 70 miles, from around Gainesville to Forsyth GA. I was watching the world series, this is the only time I had perfect reception.

No, you just pay as you go. You just have to be in an area where you can pick up a signal. I wasn't happy with this device, I couldn't watch any videos. But it was fine for email & facebook. A smart cell phone works better. Good luck.

You need and HD source. OTA antenna if you can pick up locals, sat., or cable box with HDMI or component outputs.

Really, you will have to experiment with that. Normally, one or two feet would be sufficient for receiving signals. Since that antenna also transmits, it could interfere with your tv antenna. I would try to get 5 or 6 feet from the tv antenna if possible. If not, put it where you can, the cell power is very low and higher in frequency, so It should work fine.

I just cancelled my cable this week, even w/ our 'bundle' (cable, high-speed internet & phone). Now I'm paying only $60.00 per month for my high-speed internet & phone! I do have a question for anyone who may know: Is there a way to get local news & weather w/ Roku? Thanks in advance (btw, i live in So. Cal.)

No, you cannot talk to truck drivers on CB frequencies, which are below 30MHz. This radio transmits on much higher frequencies, which are somewhat more than 100MHz.
