Does it need to be connected to the tv with a cable?

Yes. It is amped, so it should also be plugged into an outlet. It is a long cord, but if your tv is far from a window, it can be conspicuous. However, it is powerful enough to get a good signal even away from the window. My tv is in my basement in my office/bedroom with a fuse box, so my previous antenna wouldn't get a signal regardless of placement. This antenna gets 10 by the tv, or across the room by the window, 20-30 based on the time of day. But, yes, there is a cord, but it is very long if needed. I have found that I just take it down when not in use so I don't see the cord all of the time. I don't think there is a wireless alternative, or if there is, its possible efficacy. Yes.

Yes, this device is connected to the TV by using the cable jack which is a standard feature on all current TV models so far as I know.

NO. It does not have. But you can do it through your TV screen. Check if your TV has an earphone output. If not, You need to buy a TV that has an earphone output. Nowadays it is hard to find a TV with that, almost all the new TVs does not have it. So you need to look closely for it. If you find one, you can buy wireless earphones (they're cheap) and does not need the cable. good luck

Yes, it connects to the coaxial cable connector on the tv. You can put a simple cable splitter on and run separate cables to two TVs, but signal loss could become an issue, especially on longer cable runs. (15 feet or more)

You do need to have a usb port on your tv. If you don't, I'm not sure if there is a work around. Paula

yes it has to be attached to the tv and we have it connected to a single tv and have thought about running more cable with a splitter but don't know for sure if that will work, if you try it and it works let me know.

It is not made to connect to a TV...it connects to a computer and enables the computer to display the TV signal by connecting Cable to it.

If you're referring to a coaxial connection, there is a coaxial input on the bar. I haven't tried to connect directly to a cable box, it would make more sense if you were to connect it to your TV but I probably don't fully understand what you're trying to accomplish.

Yes it works without cable TV, but don't work if you have satellite connected on the coax, also you will need the kit ( adapter on both ends)

Yes you need an optical cable to connect the sound bar to your cable box or TV.

Yes, you just need to make sure you have the cable hook-up on the back of your TV; there is a USB port but it is to connect the antenna to the power adapter
