My TV is very old by JVC company at 1996. Can I use the antenna to receive signals?

You will find the antenna very useful; but I suggest you get a booster box as well. I have am old RCA TV. I needed an indoor antenna and a booster. I get perfect reception now, from an old TV, in my bedroom. Good luck.

Yes, but you will have to have a digital converter box for the older TV sets. I bought one on Amazon that I liked.I got "Zinwell ZAT-970A Digital to Analog TV Converter Box (for Antenna Use)". It worked great. However, the price for new LED TVs is so cheap these days, you're better off replacing the old set. That's what I eventually did.

As long as it has an HDMI port available, I see no reason why it shouldn't. Use a high quality "high speed" HDMI cable and you should be fine. It also has composite (RCA) connectors for hooking up to older TVs as well. But I suspect you'll only be using it or high def video, so you'll just be hooking up via HDMI. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any issues. It's just another HDMI video source.

In order to work with the TV, the TV must have an OTA or "over the air" tuner, to be able to tune into the legacy channels 2-13 (VHF). If your tv does not have this type of input, you may still be able to connect it through an older VCR. If you don't have a VCR, your local thrift shop is sure to have one, but get it quick before they're all gone :) Make sure that the VCR has composite outputs that are compatible with your new digital television. If you TV only has HDMI, you should have got a different tv. You can also get an RF to composite adapter box, but these are quite pricy ($150) In order to work with the TV, the TV must have an OTA or "over the air" tuner, to be able to tune into the legacy channels 2-13 (VHF).

As long as the cable is connected to the antenna and the TV the other end it will work but it has to be the same cable. If you have a older TV you will have to get the converter box and connect the cable to the box first then to the TV. I know someone who has the converter box and hooked it up that way and it works for her. You can always look on youtube to see how to hook it up just do a TV converter box hook up search at youtube. Hope I helped

Most definitely ... I used the HD cable from my satellite hookup for the antenna ... works beautifully and no new cable to run :)

Only if your older tv has hdmi...if it is a LCD or led than most likley yes. If by older you mean a CRT than no

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.

I bought the unit for my parent in law. They used it to watch TV program from China. I don't know if it can receive local channels. The signals aren't very good.

if your old cable is working fine, then all you need to do is connect it to the new antenna. It doesn't come with a new cable.

some older tvs do not receive digital. If it does not have a place to attach the cable cord that says digital next to it, you probably cant use just this antenna with the tv, but you can go to wal mart or best buy and purchase a digital box, its the one the government gave away free when the tv airways went digital. Anyway, the box is worth it, with the box and this antenna you can tv channels just about anywhere. we use it camping and in my kitchen at home. Its about $40.00. I hope this helps.

Borrow an old antenna from your grandparents and see if you can pick up any channels. It should pick up at least the main VHF channels easily. The newer ones like this model should pick up a few more than the old antennas. PBS channels along with CBS ABC NBC and FOX.

Yes, but old TVs require a converter box. This is true no matter what antenna you buy, because the TV channels no longer broadcast in analog. ALL old TVs (and ALL old antennas, for that matter) can still be used, but you need a converter box to use old TVs.

technically anything metal can be hooked to an old TV to be used as an antenna. I mean people used to use coat hangers. the problem is nobody broadcast in analog anymore. yes this is just really an antenna but it is meant to hook into a digital receiver since that is all TV stations broadcast.

I don't know for positive, but I would be inclined to say yes because it does have the input-output for coaxial cable and that is what you need for the older TV'S

If your TV has a built-in tuner to receive digital broadcasts, the antenna should work. If your TV does not have a digital tuner, you will almost definitely get nothing. Digital capability is also know as ATSC. Old analog-only "cable ready" sets did not have ATSC tuners. In the U.S., there are some cities that have a few low-power analog channels still being broadcast, but that is rare and all the major channels are only broadcast digitally now.

One of the outputs on the CRF940 is for RCA & S-Video. You should be able to connect your older tv to that output, if I understand you correctly. Take a look at the Amazon photo of the back of the box and you will see an output that may fit the bill for you.

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.
