I have an old TV which is about 15 years old. I currently have a converter box will this antenna connect to the converter box?

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.

No...if you have an older TV that doesn't have a digital tuner, you need a converter..but you don't get them from the cable company...you buy em...newer digital TVs will work with just a direct hook up.

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

Not really sure if this will work since I haven't gotten my convertor box yet. But if you set up your TV using your coaxial RF connections it should work. Attach your antenna to the VCR IN port and your VCR OUT to the convertor ANT IN and then attach your TV through the Convertor's RF OUT port (the one that's marked TO TV). Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I use mine with a converter box. Some of the reviews say this cannot be used by direct plug in to a regular older TV, that you must have an HDTV or a converter box for use. I sure hope this helps you. :)

No it does NOT need a converter box. It's a digital television. All it needs is an air antenna to get network television.

I imagine it would work with the digital convertor box. But I suggest putting the antenna before the convertor box

I believe it needs digital converter box connected between the antenna and TV

You will need some kind of antenna but not a converter box----I have an antenna up in the attic since we live in a rather rural area but get great reception on all of the over-the-air channels...We have had this Samsung for over 5 years and have had no major problems---i.e.--no money spent!

Yes, it works very well with a digital signal converter box. I bought this antenna to use with my converter box. Since I've upgraded my televisions, I don't need the converter box any longer, however, I kept the antenna to plug into my television and it works great.

Yes; however, you will still require a digital converter box (converts digital to analog) as older TVs do not understand digital signals without external aid.

I bought two of these to use with my old televisions and they worked great. Since broadcast channels require a converter box I used this antenna with the converter box. The channels were very clear.

If you put it in the window it will pick up channels. I never thought of putting a box on it because I have a new RCA. Not suppose to have to put it on converter box if I have a new HD TV.

You should be able to. Some tvs need converter boxes, insure that you have one of needed.

I'm not positive but I think you will need the converter for any tv that doesn't have an internal analog to digital converter. I have a tv that doesn't have the internal converter so it cannot receive the local digital channels with an antenna alone.

If it was for local channels only you could have skiped the converter box and connected stright into your new TV. Try this first.
