Yes you will have to have an antenna, but like Capital said most of the tuners come with one. However, you should know that from what I have been told the reception tends to be pretty crappy, and you will only get a few channels. You are probably better of just watching DVDs. That is what I do.

I wish I had the money to add a satellite system though. That would be awesome.

Don't waste your money on a TV tuner, the reception is crap if you are sitting still and worse if you are driving.

If you want a good bang for your buck... I'd look into KLH industries Trac Vision mobile satellite (DirectTV)

You should find be able to find these at most (fairly equip'd) home/mobile audio shops.... along w/a decent in-store demo set-up.

Fwiw: I'm soon to start demo'ing one of these... I'll post up once I get it going

On Edit: after thinking about it some... If you live/work...spend most of your drive time in a (major) city you should have a nice handful of basic channels. I had 6 fairly clear channels on my tuner (when I had it).
