You do still have to have an antenna. It also requires software in order to work and will not work directly with chrome

Yes you have to have the antenna. I do not think so. the application is not web base, it is windows. hope this help

I think that in order to use google chrome to watch tv, you need internet connection. With this stick, you can watch tv on your pc without internet connection. Yes, I use an antena but just a bit different than the one the stick comes with.I hope this helps.

I'd say no. Really all you have to do is hook tv to computer. will need to make sure you have decent graphics card. HDMI output is the easiest. you basically set up tv as second monitor. your computer can't really send wifi signal or blutooth signals, which i believe chrome cast uses. even if you could make it work, I believe their would be latency issues.

Not that I know of maybe you have a friend with a sling box (cable or sat also needed on there end) I have live tv on my pc with one. That's the only way to get live tv with Internet. Some of thouse station will have some stuff on there sites. But that way kinda sucks. Hope this helps

yes. you will only get channels provided by your basic cable subscription. to take full advantage of this device you need to subscribe for internet speed through your cable provider. then you will have an abundance of options to watch.

not really - unless someone wrote a google app that gets your local TV stations.everything you run on this has to be Android-aware - maybe something in the google play store...

Yes if you have Google Chromecast. Just plug into HDMI and download app and it works great

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).

You should pretty much be able to go to any website that Chrome for Android can browse. But, I would echo Barry Gadsey's opinion that it can be a little bit on the slow side. But, I do like it.

Chromebooks were built for streaming content off of the internet! I use mine with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Youtube, CBS, Fox, NBC, PBS, etc.

You will more than likely need a antenna, in my experience. You can set it up as basic cable with OTA.

If you are referring to a cable or satellite box, then yes (if you want to receive a digital signal). If not, then no (your antenna should suffice). However, you can download streaming apps directly to the TV if you have either a wired or wireless internet connection.

You can, If you buy the addon device to watch TV. Out of the box, though, you can't

Yes. Plug your antenna into the Simple.tv. With this unit, you will only be able to watch your programs on a computer, a tablet, smartphone or Roku box (plugged into your tV). The Simple.tv does not plug into the TV directly.

A web browser would help to get current year epiosdes of network TV as well as the local news. If I could get that fully operational, why would I need cable at all. $90 is better in my pocket than theri pocket. I need access to current year shows, local news and sports,

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
