If your tv is digital,you do not need a digital to analog converter box. An analog tv requires that converter box to work with any antenna.

The broadcast signals are digital so you will need a converter box (digital to analog) no matter the antenna you use. Antenna>Converter Box > TV

Yes, all you need is a digital converter box which can be picked up for $38 and you will be all set to receive free over the air channels with the Cable Cutter antenna. Any digital converter will work, but we recommend this one:Mediasonic HW180STB HomeWorx HDTV Digital Converter Box with Media Player Function, Dolby Digital and HDMI Out (Old Version)

If your TV was shipped on or after March 1st, 2007, it has a digital tuner and doesn't need a converter box. Before that, it may have been analog only and would require a converter box. If it has a digital tuner, just connect the antenna coax to the coax connector on the back of the TV.

The Only Reason You Have To Get A Converter Box Is If You Have An Analog TV. You Can Have Two TV's Connected To This Antenna.

No, you do not need a converter box; It is capable of decoding ATSC and NTSC signals. Converter boxes are only needed for older analog televisions.

I have a HD TV and was able to hook it up direct without a converter box. If its an older TV you would need a converter box.

Yes, they aren't that expensive and older tv's used analog, so a converter is needed.

No converter box is needed. Just connect a coax cable from the antenna to the included adapter then to the TV.

Not quite sure why you would need a 'converter box' unless the TV is an older analog set. I just hooked up the antenna to the back of my set & works fine.

Yes, you can, if the tv is digital, but you don't get to much channels; at least I didn't get enough channels. With the converter box I got much more channels. Maybe the area that you live has better recession that my area.

It is a digital TV and has a digital tuner built in. You do not need a converter box. An antenna can be connected directly via a coaxial cable.

I'm not positive but I think you will need the converter for any tv that doesn't have an internal analog to digital converter. I have a tv that doesn't have the internal converter so it cannot receive the local digital channels with an antenna alone.
