We live in country, on Antenna and get great channels. Just want to make sure this works without Internet connection, or cable hook up.

yes this unit works fine with antenna or cable hook up. onde note of caution the color quality of your recordingswill be pale,this seems to be a minor problem with this recorder.

Yes, as long as you're getting a good signal from the antenna now, you should get the same channels on the recorder.

It depends on the internet connect you have. In addition, you may need to get a cable card from your cable provider.

Yes, it just get's it over air waves. The higher your elevation the better reception, but really it works just like the chart shows on what channels you can get for tv. We searched google to find tv antenna reception for our area to see what channels we should be able to pick up. This did very well at picking up the ones we were in range of. Still using it and happy to not be paying for cable.

If it works.Mine didn't work at all.I did however, use the antenna successfully. Don't buy!

Yes it works in home on WiFi and does not need an antenna when working on WiFi. As far as the older auto kit, I would think it would be what type of plug is on the old antenna.

I think it will work on regular channels without a cablecard, but you can use the Ceton website to send a support question. They usually get back to you within a day.

Yes. An Antenna is required to bring in the signal. Depending one many factors you will get a few to a large number for channels. Most are just looking for the major networks. This model is known for having a loud fan and over heating issues. The company has done a few improvements to help but most say issues persist. It's an interesting concept but my family found it wasn't ready to be a cable replacement yet.

Whether it is required or not depends on your home location. We are ~20-25 miles from the TV towers, have the antenna connected to 3 TVs, and I did need to add the Winegard amplifier. It worked without the amplifier, but works much better with it.

I have cable, but I think it will work with a digital antenna, such as a Terk FDTV2A.

I don't quite understand your question, but I'll tell you what I tried to do. I tried to take my box 3 hours north where we had an antenna, and all i wanted to do was watch my recorded videos, not the live direct TV. It wouldn't work because the antenna was not activated. It was very hard to get the company to tell me whether this would work or not and they kept transferring me until my call got disconnected. lol. My advice is don't count on it being so easy.

I dont know what exact channels it will receive but we are very happy with results and never put ours in a prime location. It just behind our couch so you cant see it but gives us enough channels when storms knock out internet. Very impressed with this product and just use for a back up.

The "Yes" answers to this question conflict with responses on other questions - I think you can attach an antenna to the device and it will pick up the channels - you do NOT need cable tv or a tv - my understanding is that is the device is basically a tv receiver (without a monitor).

It will work on both to get local channels. Beware of the limitations of local channels. You may need an outside antenae if the local station is far from your location. I live in the mountains so I don't receive some of the signals my neighbors higher up the mountain receive.

It will work on a cable system if you can see digital channels on your flat screen tv, but will work great for OTA signals. If you live in or near a metro area then you might not need anything more than a piece of wire sticking out of the antenna jack to test it, but if in a rural area you will need some sort of outdoor antenna.

We use this in our motorhome. We plugged it right into the antenna. We do get digital channels.

Your cable channels and your internet package literally have nothing to do with one another. This is for cable internet, nothing to do with cable television. So yes, it will work, as long as you actually have an internet package with them.
