This TV does not have an analog tuner so, no, it would not work in the Phillippines.

The battery is not easily removable. The TV is held together by nine screws, and has the usual caution about how it should only be opened by service personnel.

It comes with an antenna which plugs into the side of the unit. You can see the antenna in a couple of the photos.

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 use mine with a converter box. Some of the reviews say this cannot be used by direct plug in to a regular older TV, that you must have an HDTV or a converter box for use. I sure hope this helps you. :)

The broadcast signals are digital so you will need a converter box (digital to analog) no matter the antenna you use. Antenna&gt;Converter Box &gt; TV

So far this unit does not interfere with the connections you have on your TV because those go as inputs and the serene goes as output. Therefore, you shouldn't need any converter or adapter.

I believe it needs digital converter box connected between the antenna and TV

when we had cable, brighthouse , cable worked on our standard definition tv without a converter box, i think theres something built into the cable box already. if you only use this magnavox youre going to get over-the-air channels like local and PBS stuff like that and id recommend getting a digital antenna

If your TV is NOT set up for digital, and you can find this on your remote if it says A/D, (analogue, digital), then yes, you will need a converter. Spend as much money on this as you can afford because there is a lot of junk. I know because I bought a cheap one for the kitchen TV. I hope this helps. Terry

if you TV has HDMI, I recommend you use an HDMI cable :)I use this converter to use a projector.:)

Seems like a conversion box will still be needed...television stations have converted to digital signals (used to be analog) and the old TV's cannot view the digital signals without a conversion box

No...if you have an older TV that doesn't have a digital tuner, you need a converter..but you don't get them from the cable company...you buy em...newer digital TVs will work with just a direct hook up.

Bought it for my aunt, and yes, she uses a converter box with it. Works well.

You can if you have a digital tv. Flat panel or the like. Older tvs need a converter box

You will need some kind of antenna but not a converter box----I have an antenna up in the attic since we live in a rather rural area but get great reception on all of the over-the-air channels...We have had this Samsung for over 5 years and have had no major problems---i.e.--no money spent!

Yes...We have ours hooked up to 2 tvs. We have to buy a converter box for one tv because it was not HD.

No it does NOT need a converter box. It's a digital television. All it needs is an air antenna to get network television.

Not if you are using newer Tv this just a antenna. If you need converter now you will need again
