We want to be able to receive off-air channels which are not on our cable system.

I dont think they sell an antenna that has the AV cables coming out.
Another thing you might be able to do is get an A/B switch from your local Radio Shack or somewhere like that and just share the coaxial input on your TV. You'll just have to hit a button on the switch to use the antenna or cable box or whatever you are using.

No - are you using a cable box? If so hook the cable box up using the red-white-yellow cables and the antenna to the antenna input. If you have HD that sort of changes the answer but not much.

The optical/coax connection will provide better sound than the standard red/white RCA's provided you have that type of connection of course. If you don't, and all you have is the red/white, then that is what you will have to use. If the device you're trying to hook up to your home theater system has an optical/coax output, then it also probably has the red/white in which case it would be easier to just go from red to red and white to white instead of using adapters. If your outputting device does not have red/white outputs and only optical/coax, then you may be able to find an adapter at radio shack if not online. Also, in your question you mentioned yellow inputs. These are used for video only and not sound. Hope this helps!

No, and you don't want to do it anyhow.
If your TV has no RF input , which means it is a really monitor, or it has just one RF input, then buy an RF 2:1 mixer from RadioShack (less than $5) . Connect one input to your cable and the other one to the RF output of the antenna.
Connect the output of the mixer to your TV or your set-top box.

Unfortunately, you have to use coax antenna only. There are no antennaes that connect via composite ports. You should receive all your local stations on your cable system though. Unless, you are referring to high definition over the air stations?
