QuestionWe own a Sony Bravia LCD HDTV Monitor tv. We've worked with satellite in the past,, due to no antenna reception in area/terrain. We've moved and I would like to know if your ADTBO1F tuner/converter will allow us to use this tv with an outdoor antenna?
Asked 6 years ago by Beverly.
- Answer It works best with an outdoor antenna. But if you live close to the TV transmitter towers, you could try an indoor antenna and see if you get all the local stations. My outdoor antenna is on a 30 foot tower, so I can see stations about 40 miles away. If your Sony TV has a spare HDMI input port, you should buy an HDMI cable. Or you can use the included 3 wire RCA cable (video, left & right audio). There is also a Coax output that can provide RF Channel 3 output for people with the old analog TVs..

QuestionI have a home security camera will this record any activity it sees and how long will it record? Does it have an option to start recording to movement?
Asked 6 years ago by Michael.
- Answer Nope, unless your security camera is plugged into a HDTV transmitter. This device is designed to use an antenna to pick up over-the-air HDTV stations. It does not have a video INPUT.

Questiondoes converter box convert from digital to analog?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It can pick up over-the-air HDTV signals and turn them into old fashioned TV set NTSC RF signals. A North American standard. Not for over-seas. The F-connector marked RF Output will give you channel 3 or 4 NTSC (menu selected).

QuestionI have a Sony KDL-40S2010 tv. I have also a MOHU HD antenna. If I connect the antenna to the digital converter and connect the box to the tv via an HDMI cable, will that work. Connecting the antenna directly to the tv via coax doesn't work. Thanks.
Asked 6 years ago by Larry.
- Answer If "Connecting the antenna directly to the tv via coax doesn't work", that sounds like it could be one of three things. 1. Bad antenna. 2. Bad coax cable. 3. Bad RF input on the TV. (Sometimes lightning storms can burn up the RF input devices). As to your question, the answer is Yes. You should made sure you have a good HDMI cable and your Sony HDMI port (on tv) is good.
