The TVBox 9 only has an NTSC (analog) tuner. Do you have any analog stations in your area and the antenna rotated to get the signal from them. Since the remaining analog stations are low-power ones, you may need to use an amplifier if you aren't very close to the transmitter.
Antennaweb.org and
TVfool.com provide information on the direction of the antenna. Antennaweb is very conservative in the channel list and assumes an external antenna; so it may not list any analog stations.
If you connect a digital to analog converter box to the TVBox 9, you should be able to receive the digital channels in your area (assuming the correct antenna strength and direction). The converter boxes available with the government coupon some time ago are limited to SD outputs.
The Avermedia TVBox11 has a digital tuner and has HD output. See
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4272281&CatId=1427 for information.
The TVBox tuners are country-specific; one sold in the UK will not work in the USA.
I hope this helps.

(I have 1 analog station in my area; it doesn't always come in with my external antenna with amplifier.)
