Can a dta be used with cable antenna?

booster ,canteen (home made for wifi ) placement of antenna, type of cable used , all antenna"s are digital ready dont let that fool ya it just requires a converter to display the signals but almost any antenna will receive digital tv

Ur tvs in ur house it is getting a paid tvs incomming broadcasting tv signals like a cables or a satalites dishes companies?Yes,than that incomming broadcasting wire that plug into ur tv Ant. input port hole might have some kind of signals interference at that channel frequencies,call ur cables tvs or satalites tvs companies providers for an answers and get their field Tech. to come out and check it out.If all ur tvs in the house are analoge tvs and u are using a DTV signal through a DTV converter box to getting a Free over the air DTV air to recieving tv broadcasting tv channels stations only than tries it with another antenna signals sources like a better antenna design like a portable digital antena or good roof antenna should solved this problems.

are you tryin to get over the air tv signals, like with rabbit ears? if you are, you will need a digital converter. if you are using cable from the cable company, it is a tv issue.

you may not need the converter, but it is only in newer tvs (within the past 1-2 years old.)

My DTA1050 worked OK. Then, after a period of non use, it would not work stating no signal. The antenna tests OK on a digital TV.
These things simply die, and Access has our government money!

Good day,
I might be missing something, but you are describing a converter box that converts digital signals from an antenna to analog.
The converter box will be set to channel 3, and you should set your tv's to channel 3 as well.
Using the remotes that came with the tv's go into setup and if available as an option, you will find an option to select cable/antenna or automatic. Select automatic or antenna and save. If there is a selector switch on the back of the tv's, set to 3.

Connect antenna cable into input, and use supplied cable to connect from the output of the converter to your tv.

plug in power supply for converter box, tune tv to channel 3 then follow instructions to setup converter box including channel scan.
When done, the converter remote will control everything. However, the tv volume control will work even though the converter remote will have volume as well. The tv remote as well is needed to shut off or turn on tv. These functions can on most tv's be performed on the set as well.

No codes are required. The converter remote will work on any tv.

If you want to use both tv's then you will need a splitter on the output of the converter to send the signal to both tv's. Only one channel can be viewed at a time.

Viewing separate Chanel's requires a second converter box and a splitter connected to the antenna cable for viewing separate channels.

More options are possible, but I hope this helps you get started.
The converter box takes place of the tv's tuner and in essence disables it.

It is meant for Rabbit Ears or Outside Antenna Only.....

I checked out the manual for a similar model tv from polaroid...there's only one input for the coax cable from your antenna, so if the antenna's cable is connected to this input, this couldn't be the problem. What I do have trouble with on my own tv is that my indoor antenna location can make huge differences in recognizing all available digital signals. I could even have the antenna facing a different direction, and get different results. There are a few sites you can google for to find your distance from the broadcast towers, too. This might help to determine if you need a stronger antenna. It's a painfully long procedure to try different angles and positions for your antenna each time you run a channel scan, but this might be the only thing that would prevent you from picking up the digitals. I try the highest spot possible, and the one closest to the outdoors. Good luck, I hope you can pick them up soon! (Any antenna works...the industry tries to pass off "digital/hdtv specific antennas" to make a buck. I've used a cheapy rabbit-ears antenna and was able to bring in digital channels, as long as your tv or converter box is converting the signal.)

If you are receiving digital signal and channel is fuzzy, something wrong. Only Analog signal is fuzzy. With Digital it is great picture or nothing. For channel 6, check to see if they are broadcasting in digital yet. If they are not, this is why you are not getting a signal. If they are broadcasting in digital, then you need a stronger antenna.

Yes, you need an antenna. Any set of rabbit ears will do. Don't pay extra for a "HDTV" antenna, there is no difference in the antenna for a digital or analog signal.

Based on the specs that I have read I am going to say you cannot hook up cable to the converter. Best thing to do would be to call cable company that provides service there and see if it was turned off on the billing side they probably just didn't come out and disconnect from the pole. That might give you service but missing some features such as tv guide channel. Now some tv's have tv guide built into them and maybe in the move that feature on the tv was turned off it they were using it that way before. Here is what the specs say about that converter:

Use this digital-to-analog converter to convert digital TV broadcast signals to analog signals on analog TVs with antenna-based reception.
