What would be the right antenna for this TV tuner?

Well, I've only used it on a "cable" system. But you'll need an "HD (digital) antenna" now that the USA has stopped analog transmission of TV broadcasts.

I used $8.00 rabbit ears and they worked fine. I will depend on reception in your local area. What would work with your TV will work with this.

The further you live from a city the more it will cost for an HD digital antenna. Do your home work and shop around there is a lot of junk on the market. Ask your neighbors and see what they use.

I use a Mohu Leaf Paper Thin Indoor HDTV antenna which works good. It would depend on your location of course.

I don't know which unit you have; but Yes this antenna should work well with most of them. You should be fore warned though that you must use a full matched set of antennas' meaning If your unit has two, three, or four antenna's you must replace them all not just one.

It should work perfectly. I bought this to replace a cheaper antenna that stopped working. I highly recommend.

I am using a rooftop antenna with a signal booster from Radio Shack. Should probably use an antenna made for digital TV.

No, I wouldn't bet on it. I would choose a more traditional antenna. Get one that specifies that it is designed for HDTV. All antennas require power and for this one, there is a power inserter that plugs in on the wall & power runs up the cable. I kind of remember that some antennas have an amplifier right in the antenna. This is a fancy-schmancy antenna for those who are budget constrained or need a less conspicuous one. You might also need an HDTV signal amplifier between the inserter and the TVs. I would recommend the Channel Master CM-3414.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I am wondering the same thing - did you ever find an antenna that works? Thanks!

Hi: The antenna that I bought was a large triangular shaped one at Radio Shack (the most expensive one; although not too bad pricewise). It worked fairly well, and brought in the most TV stations. Sorry, I threw away the box and don't know the model number, but it was the only triangle shaped one they had.

UPDATE...Forgot to tell you: Take a look at "August DTA240 High Gain Digital TV Aerial - Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital Antenna for USB TV Tuner / ATSC Television / DAB Radio - With Magnetic Base" much better!!!! I'm using this now instead of the DTA220 on the USB PCTV adapter.

go to getmyelectronics.com under antennas look for the RF Antenna adapter (coax), it says it for small portable digital tv antenna adapter esp. RCA $13.99 I had same problem looking for one as I have the RCA digitalTV DHT235A 3.5" I'm ordering mine now.

The antenna input connector on the tuner/converter is a coaxial (female F connector). If your indoor antenna is not terminated with a male F connector you will need an appropriate adapter.

Hi,I have used the simple rabbit ear antenna or you can order one of the not so pricey HD antenna`s, either one works really well.

You didn't mention what model of Sharp receiver you were trying to put a FM antenna on. The general guideline for FM dipole (loop) antennas is IF the receiver is made in the US you would use a FM 75ohm adapter. If it's made in Europe then, generally, a 75ohm PAL connector. There are variants I run in from time to time. I think your solution would be to buy a US 75ohm antenna and buy a 75ohm PAL adapter for it. Then you would be able to fit US or European FM antenna mounts. Both items are sold on Amazon.com. I hope this information helps.

Yes it will fit. Have been using my Sabrent TV tuner and am very satisfied with it. (pandc54801@yahoo.com)

It only needs a converter box if your TV doesn't already have a built-in digital tuner. I happen to have an older HDTV that needed a tuner, so I bought the HomeWorx HW-150PVR on Amazon. That particular tuner has outputs for both standard TVs and HDTVs, which is a big plus compared to some of those converter boxes that only convert to a standard-quality signal. I hooked this antenna to the tuner, and then the tuner to the TV, and the overall setup works great.

I believe the preamp will work on most any kind of antenna. Put it close to the antenna.

I am using a 25 year old pre-digital antenna in combination with a signal amplifier. Basically any antenna could work. However, how good your reception is will depend upon your location, how high the antenna is mounted, any objects that may obstruct signal, surrounding terrain, distance to desired tv stations, etc. Google TVweb or antenna web to get more information about antennas and what you might expect for your location.
