Yes it has built in TV Tuners: NTSC/ATSC which get over the air analog and digital signals if you screw in an antenna to the TV you will reveive much better picture quality with over the air broadcasts. You can also hook up any digital cable or Sat. box or DVD player etc. through the HDMI or component ports. Here are the full specs of this model. http://westinghousedigital.com/products/led/32-40/ew32s5uw/

No - it's just an antenna with a signal amplifier. You'll still have to buy/obtain a separate unit for converting the new digital signals to analog.

You only need a digital converter box if you currently have an analog television(older tube type/not flat screen) connected to an over-the-air antenna signal.

Yes. If you're accessing OTA TV programming. The unit converts analog to digital but you need an antenna to bring in the signal from the television towers in your area.

Hi G. Levey, you can plug a UHF antenna into it without a digital converter. This TV can accept both digital & analog signal. Thanks. -Anthony

YES. I have this TV and it does pick up the Digital Television Channels via the antenna. It does a heck of a job pulling in channels from the antenna, HDTV programming via antenna, as well as cable channels without the need for a cable box.

You will still need a digital tuner. This is only an antenna. If you are connecting this to an old tube TV, you'll need an analog converter box.

You should not need a converter box. Have you tried connecting the antenna directly or using a better HD antenna?

If your TV is Digital which most of them are, then you only need to connect the antenna in the back of the TV on the "antenna in" outlet and then with your remote perform a channel scan. If you have the old kind of (TV's not digital ) then you will need a digital converter box

This TV can be hooked up to cable or antenna to recieve digital broadcasts. It uses DC and comes with a home AC to DC converter but does not came with an auto DC to DC converter. The unit has a kick-stand built in to hold it up.

Hi Michael K., You can get VHF/UHF supported Antenna for your channels and you don't need any converter for HDTV. Dave

My TV is analog and I pulled signal with no converter box. But the antenna wasn't great for my area, which could have been a geographical issue, but a cheap $10 pair of rabbit ears worked best for me.

if your tv is not capable of digital conversion, yes you will need a digital convertor

If you live in a digital broadcast area no antenna should be needed. The set is new enough that it should also not require the special box from a couple years ago. I just have basic cable hooked up to it and had to program the tv twice to get all analog and digital channels.

If it is an analog tv (box style) you will still need a digital convertet. After I priced them, I bought a cheap flatscreen (cheapest I could find) because some converters were up to $50.

No converter box is needed. Just connect a coax cable from the antenna to the included adapter then to the TV.

Yes, there is a digital TV tuner. We only receive OTA signals and use the internet for all else.
