Question

Do you need an antennea for your TV even if you have a built in digital tuner?

Answer 1

If you have a HDTV with a built in digital tuner and do not have cable or satellite services then yes you will definitely need either a indoor or outdoor HDTV antenna connected to your television.

Answer 2

A tuner simply takes a signal i.e.(satellite, cable, antenna) and uses it so you can watch it.

In your case it's digital i.e. it can use digital signals. (not just analog.

You need something to catch the signal, antenna being one choice.

Answer 3

Probably. The tuner only decodes the tv signal ... the antenna receives it.

Go to www.antennaweb.org and enter the information requested, and it will tell you if you need an antenna and if so, how big an antenna you need.

Answer 4

no

(Assuming you're connected to either cable TV or satellite TV.  You need to get a signal somehow.)
