Q: will i have to connect anything
A: in the box you will just have the white antenna with a few feet of coax cable coming out of it. Just attach the end of the cable to your "cable in" jack on your tv and that's the only connection you have to make.
Q: will i be able to watch regular channel with this antenna like channel 8
A: Yes, regular broadcast channels in hd, depending on how far you are from the tv transmitter. Check on the internet for "HDR tv reception" in your zip code. And the salesperson said I could bring it back if it didn't work, so no problem there.
Q: Can this antenna be used for older tvs
A: Yes if you have a digital converter which can be bought fairly inexpensively but if you think about the money you save by not paying a cable bill every month you could easily buy a new 55" flatscreen with the money you save in just one year and, let's face it, you deserve it so spoil yourself.
Q: Did anyone have trouble getting local channels?
A: Yea I didn't have NBC either but after repositioning the antenna i was able to pick it up. Moving around the antenna can become quite the hassel cuz you end up losing another channel.
Q: can a thin film antenna be moved
A: Yes, you can move it. Mounting to wall doesn't affect the reception. In fact, I placed mine on a pedestal normally used to hold a picture frame or plate on the table just behind my flat screen TV. This allowed me to easily rotate the antenna to get the best reception for one local station (required the antenna to be moved about 90 degrees). A nice antenna, but I'm not that happy with it.
Q: How do I know if this will hook up to my converter?
A: You don't need a converter box for this antenna. Newer tv's have a digital signal already built in. I have a smart tv. It's just plug and go basically.
Q: does this antenna work on a non HDTV tv?
A: You would still need a converter box for non HD-TV.
Q: Can multiple Tv's in a house use this one antenna? Or do I need one antenna per tv?
A: You can use one antenna for multiple tvs. You need to use a splitter. I recommend using one with an amplifier attached to it. You lose signal strength the longer the wire. That is what I did at my house when we get rid I cable TV.
