No, this is a digital antenna and it's a good one. I'm very pleased with mine.

If your tv is not digital capable you would. But if it is a newer digital tv you would not. Very simple hook up. Just screw on coaxial cable and enjoy free air channel's

If you are using an old CRT tv, yes you would need a digital converter. If you have a newer HDTV with a digital tuner you will not need a digital converter box.

To my knowledge, most new(er) televisions have a digital box/converter built in.

If your TV does not have ATSC (High Definition Tuner) over the air tuner build in then you will need a converter box. All over air broadcast are now in High Definition. High Definition uses the same frequencies as the UHF TV channels but with a different form of encoding.

If your TV doesn't have a digital tuner then you would need a digital box converter.My TV is a fairly new Panasonic and has digital tuning.If you don't know about your TV, you can look up the manual on the Internet to see if it has a digital tuner.Hope that helps.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I have a Panasonic LCD TV, and all I had to do was plug this into the "Antenna In" spot on the back, and it was ready to go.

If you have a newer model TV it likely can display the digital signal and you wouldn't need the converter. You connect it to the same coaxial plug that your cable connects to (if you have cable TV service or satellite service). The converter is for older TVs that don't have that capability built in already.

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.

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

I'm not certain. I would download the converter from their website. If the converter works I assume it'll play.

Depends on your TV if you have a newer one that has a digital receiver you do not need a converter. If you TV is older and has a analog receiver you will need a converter.

No you need the hdmi to VGA converter box it converts digital to analog. The one in question converts analog to digital

Yes, it will convert the digital output from your TV to optical output. If your receiver accepts optical input, you have it made.

My tv that I used this on was bought in 2007 and I didn't need a converter box guess it depends on the type TV you have.My sister in law didn't have to have a box either and her TV was not new either

If it is a newer model TV you do not need a converter box, it should be built in the tv, just hook up your antenna. I get about 35 channels with the antenna, an the picture is 100% better than with bright house cable and I don't have to pay outrageous prices for cable.

Like Chris Clayton said: You most likely need a digital TV converter box. If your TV is past 10 years old. This is an old thread but perhaps it will help someone else. A Digital converter box costs $30-$40 dollars.

There are too many possible combinations of inputs and outputs to give a blanket answer to your question. The main limitation is that the included converter does not accommodate Dolby digital which is standard output for most newer equipment. Also, if the input to your device is HDMI, in many cases non-HDMI outputs are automatically shut down so they will not work with the converter in that case either.

The box will not convert signals that have HDMI copy protection present such as bluray disc players etc. It is only for converting non-HDCP signals such as computer graphics equipment, etc.

Bought it for my aunt, and yes, she uses a converter box with it. Works well.

Yes it gets digital but you must use digital connections which would be anything but coaxial. If you mean does it have a digital Turner then the answer is no you will need a box.

Hi Susan. You don't need a digital TV converter. You can connect the RCA Antenna directly to cable input of your flat TV. But the signal that you will get from broadcast through this antenna will usually depend on your location. I think digital converters are needed only to old tvs(analog tvs).

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

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.
