You can use an antenna but this is not for digital over-the-air tv. This product is obselete in the USA.

I am using a rooftop antenna with a signal booster from Radio Shack. Should probably use an antenna made for digital TV.

Dear friend. Yes you need cable. It is a very complicate installation because, that particular TV Turner was discontinue.

Yes it uses the cable connect for an antenna, which most newer antenna use to connect. Has the built in tuner.

Yes- but it is an analog tuner. You can receive signal from your cable/converter box or but not digital over the air.

I use same set up, just connect antenna to back of converter where it says antenna and then run out cable to tv. Works fine, great reception.

You can connect the cable antenna directly to this tuner and it will receive the QAM channels that your cable company puts on the cable. Some do and some don't. Ours does. So do not need to rent a box from the cable company. Only is any good if your cable company has open QAM

I'm using DirecTV with mine so I'm not sure if you'll require an antenna to receive the local channel feed.

no, you need a cable converter and cable service. Do people still get cable?

The antenna works with the same cable that comcast uses. Usually when you cancel your cable they will take the cable boxes but will leave all the cable and splitters. Theoretically, all you should need to do is connect your main cable line to the antenna and all lines (connected to each other by splitters) to your TV's/tuners.

The unit comes with antenna so you will get radio reception. For TV you need to connect a cable from the conversion box.

Yes you will need also antenna adapter. The adapter comes with a cable that needs to be connected to power if i remember correctly. Otherwise channel recception will be poor. Check your instructions.

I can answer back in Spanish .. if needed. As for needing a tuner, I would say that depends on whether the antenna has a direct view of the towers. If you are in the city and there are structural issues, get the tuner. Hopefully, this answers the question, if not let me know.

Dear, yes, you need to buy the TV tuners, but please kindly note that this is only for analog TV, so you need check if you do have the signal for analog TV locally.

a tuner allows you to watch and record things off cable or satilite which was the clincher for me why i purchased this particular model. Without it, I couldnt have watched or recorced off cable simple as that.

I'm sorry, I didn't use an antenna. I had cable and used the roku box. Plus my Tv didn't last a year before going out. You have better call customer service if you haven't had the TV that long.

I used a long coaxial cable that I had left over from a previous cable installation. The cable is NOT included with the antenna.

If you have an analog TV then you will need a converter. This antenna picks up digital signals and requires a TV with a digital tuner or a digital to analog converter.
