My cable company is now all digital - will this eliminate the need for the converter box?

Yes, it does. It has a built-in digital and analog tuning. It picks up channels if you have a digital HD/Analog antenna or a cable box.

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

No you don't need a converter box as long as the TV's you are hooking up to are digital ready or HD TV's and to your seconded question I'm not sure what convertor is the best I never had to use one hope this helped.

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.

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, if your tv is analogic, you will have to connect the antenna to the converter

Seems like a conversion box will still be needed...television stations have converted to digital signals (used to be analog) and the old TV's cannot view the digital signals without a conversion box

Every cable system is different, but my understanding is that a cable box functions quite differently from an HD to analogue digital converter and therefore for most cable systems you are stuck with whatever the cable system recommends.

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.

If you have an analog-to-digital converter it should work but if, for examPle you've been using cable and want to cut the cord, you can't unless you have the converter.

It has a coax connector, it isn't a digital converter though so you'll need a digital TV or a converter.

No...if you have an older TV that doesn't have a digital tuner, you need a converter..but you don't get them from the cable company...you buy em...newer digital TVs will work with just a direct hook up.

If it is an analog tv (box style) you will still need a digital convertet. After I priced them, I bought a cheap flatscreen (cheapest I could find) because some converters were up to $50.

If you have a television that already has a digital and an analogue tuner in it, do you still need a converter box for this?

Not if you are using newer Tv this just a antenna. If you need converter now you will need again

I believe it needs digital converter box connected between the antenna and TV
