what kind of range does this have do you need a hdtv

Hello: I found this (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-pqrewoC3yoD/learn/learningcenter/home/antenna.html) on distance. It states that 70 miles is the limit - which is the curvature of the Earth. But objects, mountains, etc. in the path, could weaken the signal.You do not need an HDTV but I do recommend it. Some of the picture will be cut off (the sides) and you won't get the clarity. If you buy an HDTV, look for one that has a built-in antenna and perhaps you can avoid buying an external. :)

Yes you need an HDTV, reception is good for me but all the stations I watch are within 20 miles.

I'm on the Eastern Shore of MD so no major interference. Baltimore is about 30 miles and DC about 40 miles

I don't know how big the range is. It worked ok for me but the local stations are very close by. It probably average. It is going to depend where you live and the geography between you and the broadcast towers.

Says 50 miles... The Towers I pick up are about 30 miles away. You don't have to have an HDTV but it does work well with HDTV

The HDMI spec is 25ft. Anything over that could have problems depending on the equipment you use. One TV might work fine another not. One computer or BR player may work fine another not. No one can guarantee your situation will work. You will just have to try it. Down the road if you change equipment you may then experience problems. Unless you can stay below the 25ft spec your cant be guaranteed a reliable signal. Yes you can add amplifiers or signal balancers but then again it depends on the equipment at both ends of the cable.

Nothing more than your tv - plugs into the antenna output. We're really pleased with how well it works. Use it on a spare 19" HD set and receive all digital channels. Sometimes a slight turn of the antenna needed to bring in the strongest signal. Hope this helps!

I currently use this between my HDTV in the living room and a a first gen LCD TV that I can move between rooms. It works in all locations (upstairs bedrooms, kitchen, garage, etc). I do sometimes lose signal on the back deck (transmitter is located in the living room at the front wall of the house and deck is one level down at rear of house so this is longer range. Within the house there are times when signal interferance occurs. This can usually be fixed by moving the transmitter or reciever slightly. Overall the signal quality is good enough for my needs (old LCD TV with small screen) not sure if it would provide an adequate HD driver for a large LCD TV.

Yes it will work with an hd reciever but will only give you standard tv not high definition.

the TV has a built-in digital tuner but to get Hi-Def you will need something from your cable provider

If you don't want cable TV anymore just pick up a digital hd antenna $12 to $50 avg. To pick up local stations...a converter box is not necessary

I do not know. I know it isn't as good as the old 2" Cascio I had before the system changed to all digital. This TV will not pick up but one station, Ion, and the tower is fifteen miles from my house. This is not a good television--I wasted my money.

This is a HD receiver that supports direct TV. I ordered through Amazon because it was much cheaper.

I hooked it up to my 46" HDTV and use it to watch movies from Hulu and other TV series (CBS, NBC, etc). The quality in the TV depends on the quality of the video stream: if HD, the quality is excellent, 480 is acceptable.

I don't know because the whole system didn't work for me so I sent it back. My impression is though that it does work w/ HD TV.

To view HD programming you would need either non-encrypted digital channels or a HD cable box. A DVR box is not necessary.

Not an HD device. It will substitute for a second box and will bring in all the channels, but it will not be an HD picture on your second TV.

Free air Abc, Nbc, cbs, and more are HD signals, I am using a 1974 Winegard antenna, been using it since 1974, get the HD signal fine. You don't have to get a HD antenna, but a good outside antenna on a pole next to your house will be the best signal possible you can receive

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