Question

This guy here does not understand. Someone else please answer. SOmeone who knows the difference between digital vs. analogue and high def...

Answer 1

No, if you live close enough to get the signal but you may need an HD antenna.

Answer 2

Well for one your question is written incredibly poorly.

The answer is no. You do not need a HD box to recieve OTA HD broadcasts. All you need is an antenna or rabbit ears.

Answer 3

You can have a full HD tv and not recieve the off air channels.  As long as it has a built in digital tuner you are ok.  All you need is a set of rabbit ears or less depending on where you are.  If you live in an urban area I've seen a paper clip work OK --  might not be consisitant but might get signal for you quickly.  I fix tv's all day long and I use a piece of solder for an antenna for customers all the time that have an HD tv and are watching analog cable through an RF connection (channel 3 or 4) the worst possible way of getting a signal as possible.  I hook their cable box up through composite (yellow red white) and auto program the solder for an antenna and show them the difference.
