Does it have a built in antenna or do I need rabbit ears?

it does not have a built in Ant. it does have a jack to plug one in, I just use this to watch my dvds, later I may add a satellite serv.

Yes, all you need is a rabbit ear antenna, or an old-style UHF antenna, or something more modern (coax cable input). It really pulls in the stations, but the placement of the antenna may need adjustment for some stations.

Pick up some cheap rabbit ears or any other vhf antenna and added it to your set-up with a splitter. I currently have a amp, splitter, the RCA basic antenna connected with my Leaf. I have no issues with reception or getting all the channels in the area. Make sure you use a digital splitter.

hey, i'm in the same prob here, looking for something to boost my weak signal for my regular tv. I don't use cable, just rabbit ears. Any sugestion which antenna is best or should i go look for booster?

I've used the HD Frequency Cable Cutter I/O HD Digital antenna and other much cheaper "rabbit ear" type antennas. I found not much difference in the number of channels I received. The real determining factor is your location. In hindsight I would have just purchased a less expensive antenna..

No you need one the is tuned to 2.4ghz system. Circular polarized antennas work best. The reduce the reflected signal common in 2.4ghz an 5.8ghz systems.

not sure. it has a couple coaxial cable "ports". haven't used rabbit ears for years, but don't see a way to screw a couple rabbit ears ends to tv. otherwise a great dvd player which i use a lot.

No. It Has it built in. With two antennas that you plug into the board . Antennas are included.

It depends on how close you are to the tv station antennas. If you are in an urban setting you might have good luck , maybe an attic antenna would work . To test , try rabbit ears in a window , it you get signals then , you will be pleased with this antenna placed outside.

Only used it with the standard roof-mounted antenna. Always turned on power booster. Digital signals might not penetrate to a set of rabbit ears in an RV very well due to their radio frequency. Never tried it with "rabbit ears".

Yes, this antenna will work just like the old rabbit ears antenna I assume you have at present. Only difference is this flatwave antenna will work better.

There is a "pigtail antenna" plug in back. However, I've not needed an antenna. Great reception.

It was useful for me. I think proximity to the local stations antennaes play a big factor but in NYC this was not a problem for me and it was better than the old style rabbit ears.

You do still have to have an antenna. It also requires software in order to work and will not work directly with chrome

Unknown. I didn't get that far with it. Once I found that I needed more than my rabbit ears and AC plug, I knew I couldn't use it and returned it all at my cost.Michael

I believe R. Garrison is correct. One other thing to know, though, is that from my experience this blade-type antenna does NOT perform significantly better than rabbit ears-type antennas if the signals in your area are not good to start with. If you're considering this to improve on rabbit ears, I personally don't think it's going to improve your reception much.

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.
