Can I use the existing cable wires to get dtv to other tvs in my apartment... ...or do I need an antenna for each tv/tuner?

yes....provided all are split into the same source (from the antenna) wire.

only if you need to connect more than 4 directv tuners. One line per tuner i.e. not DVRs take one line and DVRs need 2 lines

I have two digital TV attached. Also I have installed a signal amplifier attached to the antenna. But I don't know the direct answer to your question. It seems to me that the signal amplifier (at less than $20) would make sense if you live on the edge of the TV transmitter coverage area.

I have to buy a DTV converter (because my TV was an older model) to and connect the Antenna to that. Also, like a regular Antenna, I had to move it around (I put mine near the window). I hope this helps.

No, no tuner. We utilize our cable box (Directv, non-HD) for the tuner. This is a second TV, so we just have the basics on this unit

No, Antenna only. iView has other products that may suit your need. I wasn't overly pleased with this box. I would also suggest checking out Channel Master @ channelmaster.com. Not sure if you're just looking for a box to replace your rented HD receiver box from your cable company. Either way, these units aren't cheap, yet. Good luck, hope this helped.

Yes you can. Just remove the coax that goes to your TV's from the cable feed outside your house, mount the antenna in your desired location and run a coax cable from the antenna and connect (use a male/male connector) it to the cable that feeds your TV's. It's as easy as that and if your like me you will get a better picture than you got from your cable provider

Yes they come with directions. I have two antennas connected to this switch. That way I can switch between the antennas with a push of a button. So, if your wanting to switch between DTV and and an over the air antenna I see so reason why this wouldn't work for you.

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles

I am not sure either about the tuner type but I use my set with a Terk HDTV indoor antenna and I receive all of my surrounding channels (both HDTV and digital) just fine. I do not subscribe to cable or satellite. Hope that helps!

If you don't want cable TV anymore just pick up a digital hd antenna $12 to $50 avg. To pick up local stations...a converter box is not necessary

Not sure what you would need a 'tuner' for ....this unit hooks up fast to TV's

The broadcast signals are digital so you will need a converter box (digital to analog) no matter the antenna you use. Antenna&gt;Converter Box &gt; TV

No, you shouldn't. I have a new TV also, and the antenna connects directly to where the cable box would normally plug into.

Can I hook up a regular converter box to this t.v. and get my local channels? I ordered this t.v. and I do not have cable or any paid services.

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

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