Question

When I get a digital tuner do I still need an antenna to get reception?

Answer 1

no, the antennae is for analog signals. You just need the digital converter box

Answer 2

Yes you do. Digital TV broadcasts are sent to your TV the same way that analog ones are.

In North America, analog & digital broadcasts use the same antennas. Usually an antenna that gives good analog reception will also give good digital reception as well.

Answer 3

of course you need a antenna. Digital tuners work and look alot better then analog tv. You will like it.

Answer 4

Yes you do,i got one thinkin yay no more antenna...wrong, still need it, it plugs into the back of the box. i got two from walmart, used it for about a week, one just quit working on me wouldnt turn back on in the morning, then i just disconnected them. They are super annoying most the time w/just an antenna if u have static or an unperfect picture u can still watch the channel, with the converter box, the channels freeze up and a message comes on telling u its lost is signal and to adjust. it sucks. the only bonus was i did get a few extra channels but its was a pain trying to watch them. Its just another way to try to get us all to pay out the a*s for cable....boooooo
