what channel does the receiving tv need to be set to?

It plugs into one of the "aux"inputs on the back of the TV. Doesn't need to be set to a channel. Select aux input

You will need an amplifier or A/v reciever. Tv output is not sufficient It does not decode the sound so it wont work

You need a receiver/amplifier, then wire connection from receiver to the speaker. TV will connect to receiver input.

Yes. The TV has to get the TV signal from somewhere - - an antenna, cable, satellite, DVD player, or a computer. A TV is just a receiver, you have to choose what you want to receive. Except for pocket TVs, TVs haven't come with built in antennas since 1975.

You fail to mention the source of input ie Directv, Dish, antenna. Most devices other than antenna have a format setting. Check your other devices to possibly find a combination that works for you.

As long as the TVs and receiver have the appropriate input / outputs this should work for that purpose

The best would be pointing in the direction of the transmitting towers. I have it just mounted on top of my Flat Panel TV which is about 90 degrees askew to my areas Broadcast towers, and get about 85 percent signal strength which is good enough. Tune your TV to the signal strength meters that most new TV have buried in Settings, and you can move the antenna around to where you get the best reception.

I agree. All the new receivers require HDMI connections. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection for TV input then it will not work. The older TV's had the component cables (Red, Blue and Green).

There is Audio out at the back of the TV Screen. Simply plug that to the input on the receiver.

Check your TV see if it has audio (stereo or mono) output. Use the included cable to connect the base to TV. Turn on the base, then use any radio device (such as the included headphone, with frequency already preset) to listen at frequencies 88.2.

...a correction. Tuning your tv to channel 3 or 4 is not necessary. You'll just need to select the audio/video input on your tv.

ask the seller for the receiver #. also, I may have mine for sale, as I just switched to Dish

Yes, you would need an antenna. By the way, there are no "digital" antennas. Most digital channels are on UHF frequencies. a so called digital antenna is a UHF antenna. I bought an antenna on Amazon and it works well. Look at one of the TV websites and punch in your address, and it will tell you which way to point your antenna and how many channels you will likely be able to receive.

When you first set it up do a channel search. Make sure you have it set to cable and not antenna

I have the 50 inch version of this TV. There is an onscreen guide but mine is limited to my tv provider directv. It will detect your service and download that guide. Not sure why you need it as you can just use the guide on your receiver.

This is not a tv tunner/receiver, this is a micro computer, the included hdmi cable is used to plug the raspberry to a monitor in order to work with the graphical interface, so technically, you don't get any channel, and no, it can't be hooked to a cable company. If you want to use it play multimedia, you can do it from a usb drive or playing on line media. Cheers :)

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.
