Do you need an RCA converter to make this antenna work?

The antenna did almost nothing for my reception. I did not try an RCA converter, but I am skeptical about it being helpful.

If your receiver needs one to connect to then yes. If you have the older style dual connection for your antennae leads then no you won't. I think the idea for this was to insure it worked no matter the type.

Yes, if you have the coax screw-on type of antenna connector on the back of your radio. Not only are the connectors incompatible without the converter, the converter has a little transformer in it to adapt the 75 ohm connector on your radio to this 300 ohm antenna.

Are you sure you have an analog TV? Please double check. I don't think you need a converter box for this particular TV. If you don't have cable, get an old school antenna.

My research indicated that you do need a preamp, so I bought one and everything works fine, but I'm no expert! You would need some sort of cable converter at least but I think you do need the preamp.

Absolutely fine. This is a very good, highly directional antenna. I tried a RCA from Walmart and took it back. This solved my problems.

Hi Michael K., You can get VHF/UHF supported Antenna for your channels and you don't need any converter for HDTV. Dave

No. The only RCA type of connections on the unit are Digital inputs with Coax 1 and Coax 2.

It will work if your receiver have a DIGITAL RCA (ie not fiber optical) input.

You may have to buy another radio, if your current one does not have a RCA input/output

Use old-school cables with RCA-type plugs and plug it into your TV's INPUT plugs like you would a VCR. Those cables don't come with the kit, but you can get them at Radio Shack if you don't already have them. You'll need three cables or a ready-made A/V 3-cable bundle. Two cables for left/right audio channels (usually red for right and either black or white for left), and one cable for video (usually green or yellow). Attach your antenna to the converter box (not the TV) using standard thread-on antenna connection.

If I understand the question, I think that if you ran the amplified antenna out (coax) to a digital converter box and then to the tv, it should all work fine. You would need a coax in to the digital converter.

No, if your tv is analogic, you will have to connect the antenna to the converter

Yes; you will still need a converter. It really is just an antenna that week help you get the clearest picture possible, but it isn't a substitute for a converter/doesn't have one built into it. It is a great antenna though.

It's just the converter. You can use your old antenna if you had one. Just a regular VHF antenna like we've had for the last 60 years works fine.

This unit only works with antenna. you don't need a converter with cable. Thank you.

Im not a subject matter expert but I would say yes, it will work with your analog/digital converter box. Here lies the potential why:http://www.ebay.com/gds/NO-SUCH-THING-AS-A-HDTV-ANTENNA/10000000003429040/g.html

I use same set up, just connect antenna to back of converter where it says antenna and then run out cable to tv. Works fine, great reception.

Yes you may need an adapter to convert your your headphone/line out jack to the RCA connections for the headphones.
