The antenna is not a separate unit, it is a part of the TV. I do not have cable or any other source except antenna.My Sony 13" TV has an antenna ATTACHED on the top. Will the converter box work with this?
Your converter will need a video transmitter to work with this old-style TV. A short antenna connected to the converter's video output jack should work for you.My Sony 13" TV has an antenna ATTACHED on the top. Will the converter box work with this?
short answer is no.
those portable tvs will not work after the digital transition, unless that tv has an input for an external antenna (it will either look like two screws or a single, threaded metal jack). concievably, you should be able to open the tv and find where the antenna connects to the tv. however, to wire up a converter would probably require some soldering and minor electrical surgery. if this was meant to be a portable tv, this conversion will make it a pain to move around.
your other option is, if you have audio/video inputs (red/yellow/white plugs) to connect a vcr and then connect the digital converter box through that, which will work, since you will be using the vcr's tuner to get the signal, which will be transferred as seperate audio/video signals to the tv. having these plugs on a small tv is very hit-or-miss, but sonys are usually feature-rich.
another poster mentioned a video-signal transmitter. that may work, but the picture quality is dubious, at best.
