All you need is your TV and the HD Antenna. If your TV is ancient, it might not work. But any modern TV should work with this antenna. Go to www.antennaweb.org to find out which stations you will be able to access from your location.

Yes you will need a digital converter box & you won't get as many channels with this antenna as you do with Comcast. It's really not worth the money.

No! If you live in an urban setting, you just connect it to your tvs cable input port!

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

Pretty much all modern TVs have built-in turners now, including digital channel tuners. For digital reception you just need to get a digital rabbit ear style receiver. Otherwise with cable you just need to plug in the cable without a box.

I intend to replace the old TV with this Bravia. Thus, I just don't know how the wireless works. So I'd have to set up a Lynksys just for the TV and the Airport would run my 4 Macs and one PC? Can I do that? God forbid, do I have to have Comcast come in and do anything?? Thanks.

I purchased an indoor antenna for $30 and use that since I did not have access to Comcast. I get about 6 to 12 channels on what is called Free TV. I am sure you could use a rooftop antenna but you have to have the correct cord and connection to the TV. It does not come with the TV.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

Hi, yes you will need an antenna to get local channels. If you don't need local channels, then "no". We do have ports that you can add third party devices to television (dvd/directv).

"Cable"? As in, pay a provider for TV? NO! A strong internet connection would be nice, but not necessary. Depends on how you wanna use it

Was going to buy for my mom, but wanted to verify that you can record TV programs without a built in tuner which is the case in this unit. Mom has cable but no cable box Jon T , did your situation work?

I picked up a cable card from the local Brighthouse office - no charge. There is nothing more you need, although it can take some time for the channels to come up. There are a few channels that came up on the old cable box that are still unavailable on the cable card.

What is Charter Cable? We use Time Warner Cable. It's the weirdest thing because her TV is listed with the codes and it will turn the TV off and on and turn the volume up and down just wont program channels. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated we've tried about everything we can think of.

Yes that's correct. Dump the cable TV bill, and use an antenna, it looks better, and it's free. This does do atsc, and over the air, the picture quality compared to cable looks great. I am going to be dropping pay tv, because clear qam is how I used one tuner for. Ya listening Comcast?

Make sure the TV has the connection on it then yes! Need the go into menu and indicate wired vs wifi connection also after you run wire from router.

Its just a modem - you'll have to get a separate router. Unlike what comcast provides which is a dual purpose modem/router.
