I don't have a digital TV, just my old 27" Magnavox. Will I still need to hook up a converter box to use this antenna?

Yes this antenna will still work great,but with an analog TV you need the converter box,I recommend you buy it from Amazon because they sell them for 32 dollars and Walmart sells them for 50 bucks. i didn't know that,so i bought one at wall mart for our tv in the bedroom. If you have a HD flat screen digital TV you don;t need the box.

What are you picking up with your old TV? All the channels have converted to digital. You need a digital convert box. If you look on Amazon you'll see the Home Worx 150-PVR (just a suggestion). In combination you'll be able to receive many of the Free to Air tv stations - and there are many. Ditch cable ;-)

I do not believe so. I believe that this is just meant to convert analog to digital. What you probably need is a set of bunny ears, which my family has while we wait for our antenna to be set up. You might want to talk to a television expert about this.

No, you do not need a cable network. This antenna is for basic digital television. All you need is a television converter box. A converter box (if you don't know) is a box that allows your TV to read digital signals and is what was made necessary to watch regular television after digital TV took over a couple of years ago.

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.

It is a digital TV and has a digital tuner built in. You do not need a converter box. An antenna can be connected directly via a coaxial cable.

Eddy, Most HD TVs will pick up the digital signals (older HD "ready" models require a converter box). So, you shouldn't need a converter box to receive the digital signals, just an antenna. This box will not pick up any digital channels without using an antenna as well. However, if you do need a converter box, I would not recommend this one. I had one and it went out after a few months.

I have a HD TV and was able to hook it up direct without a converter box. If its an older TV you would need a converter box.

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.

Depends on how new TV is. Don't need converter box w/my TV and, get at least 22 DTV signals. Am very satisfied w/Antenna.

If your TV is NOT set up for digital, and you can find this on your remote if it says A/D, (analogue, digital), then yes, you will need a converter. Spend as much money on this as you can afford because there is a lot of junk. I know because I bought a cheap one for the kitchen TV. I hope this helps. Terry

Not if you are using newer Tv this just a antenna. If you need converter now you will need again

No, you do not need a converter box; It is capable of decoding ATSC and NTSC signals. Converter boxes are only needed for older analog televisions.

No you don't need a converter box as long as the TV's you are hooking up to are digital ready or HD TV's and to your seconded question I'm not sure what convertor is the best I never had to use one hope this helped.

Im not a subject matter expert but I would say yes, it will work with your analog/digital converter box. Here lies the potential why:http://www.ebay.com/gds/NO-SUCH-THING-AS-A-HDTV-ANTENNA/10000000003429040/g.html

Yes, you can hook up a Digital converter box using HDMI or component cables. For me, it is the only way to get HDTV. There is NOT a QAM tuner in this model, so you will only get analog channels when you do the scan for channels. The term "digital" for this TV is misleading in my opinion.

There particular digital antennas are intended to give great HD clarity for free; however, you do not need to have a HDTV but DO need to have a digital TV. This antenna will not work with an analog television. You would need to purchase a converter.
