what if you use this on a digital tv will it help your signal having trouble with current antenna

I love this unit after having purchase 4 of them, but I can't say it help with a better signal.

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.

it will only boost the over the air signal to your tv not a digital cable signal

This TV only has a digital tuner, never tried it on air signal but other reviews have mentioned it does not pick up signal very well. I have it connected to cable and it works fine with the digital channels.

I kind of thought that that was the situation. I just got a new HDTV and am a little worried, that in a few days I will be loosing two of my channels (CBS, NBC). My hope is that what I have heard is true, that they will be boosting the signals when they no longer need to carry the analog channels. I have been waiting to purchase a new antenna untill after the conversion.

If your TV has a digital tuner, it should already work with your antenna, but if it's an old TV, then this will allow you to pick up digital (high-definition) TV over the air with an antenna.

I doubt it will help. Go to Radio Shack and get there digital Power antenna Booster ( it plugs in to 110 ) I went from 4 Channels to 27.

Nothing more than your tv - plugs into the antenna output. We're really pleased with how well it works. Use it on a spare 19" HD set and receive all digital channels. Sometimes a slight turn of the antenna needed to bring in the strongest signal. Hope this helps!

This helped to improve analog signals. The current car and home tv run on digital signal. You will have to purchase a dtv antannae to get what you desire I believe.

If the signal that you're trying to receive is decent or at least ok and it is the receiver that you're having a problem with yes the antenna will help you but remember if the signal is noisy the amplified antenna will probably be just be amplifying noise I hope this helped... Hauser

Yes. If you're accessing OTA TV programming. The unit converts analog to digital but you need an antenna to bring in the signal from the television towers in your area.

I've had no trouble using this antenna on both the old type as well as the new digital tvs. Are you hooked up to a recording device because thathas to be a certain way.

If I understand the question, I think that if you ran the amplified antenna out (coax) to a digital converter box and then to the tv, it should all work fine. You would need a coax in to the digital converter.

some older tvs do not receive digital. If it does not have a place to attach the cable cord that says digital next to it, you probably cant use just this antenna with the tv, but you can go to wal mart or best buy and purchase a digital box, its the one the government gave away free when the tv airways went digital. Anyway, the box is worth it, with the box and this antenna you can tv channels just about anywhere. we use it camping and in my kitchen at home. Its about $40.00. I hope this helps.

No. This is an indoor antenna that will work ok in a metro area where you are less than 25 miles from the TV towers. You will likely need to take extreme measures to pickup digital TV signals from that far away.

If your TV is analog you need a converter to receive digital signals. An antenna only pulls in whatever signal that is in your area. Thus if your TV needs a converter to watch digital TV you'll need the converter with this antenna.

It will tune in any over-the-air broadcast that your digital antenna will pick up. The key here is the digital antenna. I used one when I moved a year and a half ago, and it was fine because I had good reception in the area. Then I moved again a couple of months ago, and I couldn't pick up anything...zero...zilch...nada! Where I'm at now, I'm kind of down in a valley, and it's impossible to pick up a signal. Bottom line, it will tune anything that your antenna will pick up.

no, this is for tv signals that are no longer used. It is analog and all TV is in digital now.
