My school recently changed their cable system to a digital system so it doesn't work with my old television. If I get this can I watch TV on my old TV

Yes it will work as long as the old tv at least has rca input (yellow for video, red and white for audio.) There is a chance you need a cable card to put in the slot but usually you dont need it unless you have premium channels that require decoding.

Yes, it works great. You must have a wieless internet, unless your modem is close to connect directly.

Seems like a conversion box will still be needed...television stations have converted to digital signals (used to be analog) and the old TV's cannot view the digital signals without a conversion box

No you have a HDTV this device hooks from antenna to bring hd signal from the air and convert from digital to analog. Its made for old TV s only

All you need is your TV and the HD Antenna. If your TV is ancient, it might not work. But any modern TV should work with this antenna. Go to www.antennaweb.org to find out which stations you will be able to access from your location.

This item is for audio (sound) only. What you need is a digital TV converter to make the digital signal viewable on your old (analog)set. Here's an example:APEX DT502 Analog to Digital TV Converter

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

What ever cable you used for your old television before will do. We did not buy any new cable.

You can if you have a digital tv. Flat panel or the like. Older tvs need a converter box

no, this is for tv signals that are no longer used. It is analog and all TV is in digital now.

Here is an easy way to find out. Use the cable output connection on your box and run a short piece of TV cable from the box to the cable input connection on the back of your analog set. If you get a picture this way, you will get a picture with the transmitter set up. If your cable box has the old cable output connection, you should be able to find out quickly. You will need the audio video RCA connectors on both units (red, white, yellow) to actually make it work.

NOT unless your TV has a digital tuner. An analog NTSC tuner will not work.

if your old cable is working fine, then all you need to do is connect it to the new antenna. It doesn't come with a new cable.

Yes, but old TVs require a converter box. This is true no matter what antenna you buy, because the TV channels no longer broadcast in analog. ALL old TVs (and ALL old antennas, for that matter) can still be used, but you need a converter box to use old TVs.

Yes however it looks like crap on a new TV. If you can play it on an old school TV if you can't it's no big deal you can still play it on a new TV.

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

In order to work with the TV, the TV must have an OTA or "over the air" tuner, to be able to tune into the legacy channels 2-13 (VHF). If your tv does not have this type of input, you may still be able to connect it through an older VCR. If you don't have a VCR, your local thrift shop is sure to have one, but get it quick before they're all gone :) Make sure that the VCR has composite outputs that are compatible with your new digital television. If you TV only has HDMI, you should have got a different tv. You can also get an RF to composite adapter box, but these are quite pricy ($150)

I wish it would have picked up the digital signals today during the test this city had for people to check their tvs. It did not. I picked up the local stations but they were running an alert that "this tv is not ready for digital signals" to all tvs that were not digital. If I put the cable connection on it then it is just fine but my understanding was that this tv had a digital tuner and could pick up digital signals.
