What Does this do, does it receive TV OTA? Does it show TV from Cable? Is there a schematic that shows ho it is set up?

this box is a digital and analog tv tuner that plugs into a usb port on your computer, setup is more software driven. load the software first, follow the instruction, plug in the device, if PC sees it, tune in you channels. TV on your Computer

We bought this for our analogue cable signal, which is amplified. It works well for that. I don't know how well it would work for an OTA signal.Bill

I wondered the same thing, but owned one before so was quite certain it did. comes with everything you need, I went from one channel though the shortest wire possible to four channels, and split that off to another TV. It works great and is well worth the money.

Hi...if you mean...a hook up for cable...for sure. I just hooked up my cable wire to the back and boom...there was the picture. I am still working to get the remote synced...but, it was so easy to install. Look at the specs and you will see it on the back of the TV. Lots of other hook ups too...USB and more. Good luck. I love it so far.

You need and HD source. OTA antenna if you can pick up locals, sat., or cable box with HDMI or component outputs.

I'm not the most techey guy but what I can tell you is it sends a HDMI signal just like any HDMI signal from a VCR, DVD or cable box. If your TV works with any of the items I have listed then the dongle will work on your TV.

The previous answer is not quite 100% correct. This unit does have an ANALOG tuner, which will no longer work with today's over-the-air digital high definition broadcasts. The tuner will work with basic, unencrypted, analog cable, but that's it.

No. You can't mix OTA (antenna) and cable. You'll need two separate lines and a switch.

I have a Samsung HDTV and the Best Buy guy said I could tape ota to vhs/dvd (tv mode no channel 3) if i connect the antenna through coaxil cable to the player and tv. only two ends to the cable. any adaptors or splitters or anything to help accomplish this conundrum?

A QAM tuner enables you to receive digital cable channels without the need of a set top box. This TV will support Over-The-Air (OTA) and analog cable connections (such as the service you would get in rooms without a cable box when you pay for basic cable). Hope this helps!

This just transmits the hdmi signal it receives. It cannot tune into different channels..it cant even tune into one. Just plays same signal in one tv that the other one is playing.

I had the same question. The photos on Amazon and Samsung websites do not show the back side so a person can see the inputs. Nor does it list it in the specs. I did find the same model TV locally on display. I turned it around and YES, it does have the ANT (antenna) coax/cable input.

The ota signal will be HD if the channel is HD. I run the OTA signal through a signal amplifier and haven't had any problems. If you have more than one hopper you will need an adapter for each hopper. Also, you can record this signal on the hopper plus it gives you an extra tuner.

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).

Reading the instructions would answer this question, but I'll answer it anyways. This device is used to connect an OTA (over the air) antenna to your Dish Hopper. The coax is an input that is connected from the OTA antenna into the USB OTA Tuner. The usb connection then connects the OTA Tuner to the Dish Hopper. After you've made this connection you can follow the included instructions to setup the OTA Tuner to work with the Hopper. For what it's worth, this product is cheaper if ordered directly from Dish Network. Last I looked it was only $30 directly from Dish.

Here's my lo-tech response: The tuner takes a digital over-the-air (OTA) TV signal and sends it to a TV that is not equipped with a digital tuner. Usually, a digital antenna is connected to the tuner and then the tuner is connected to the TV. Most SMART TVs these days have a built in digital tuner, so this tuner is often used with older TVs that don't have a built in tuner. In my case, I use this tuner to grab over the air HD TV signals and connect the tuner to a projector for showing outdoor sports games. If you do this, you will also likely need an AV receiver as a middle device for sound. Hope this helps.
