Do I need a converter?

You only need a digital converter box if you currently have an analog television(older tube type/not flat screen) connected to an over-the-air antenna signal.

If you have a HDTV, you do not need a converter: simply connect the antenna to the TV. If your TV is not HD, you will need to connect the antenna to the converter and then a cable from the converter to the TV.(in-out positions are marked)

If you have ever had a cable or satellite company connect their wire/cable/coaxial to your device to provide you with viewing content, your device has a digital tuner and all you need to do is connect the antenna the same way the commercial companies connected to your television. If you have only used "rabbit ears" antenna you will need a converter box.

You likely need one if you do not have a digital TV, but if you do have digital TV, then this acts as an antenna to bring in the digital channels in your area. Place it in a window if you can seems to work better then. It is good for when you do not get local channels on your satellite TV like us! It can pull them in for you.

only if you have an analog, older style tv. Recently sold tvs have digital tuners already built-in... and this plugs directly into the back of the tv.

It plugs into the electrical outlet like other appliances, so I would think that you would need a converter. If you go to a Radio Shack store, they should be able to help you with it.

I have no clue. I would Google the area and see what they use. But I would strongly advise you to buy a different converter

Not necessarily. It runs hotter without the converter, but it still runs. If you have a step down converter on hand, it's worth using though.

You will need to get a converter to use this item internationally. Inexpensive, it is worth having for your assorted travel items.

No sorry. Digital and analog are completely different so you would actually need a powered converter.

I don't have the unit anymore. But yes you can get a converter. Batteries Plus or RadioShack probably has what you need.

No, you don't need a converter since this is a converter. You should check that this works wherever it is you're going. I bought this for a trip to Israel.

No. Many Amazon and other users have reported this particular style and model converter has burned up in normal use after only a short time. Two of the three I purchased burned up - I threw the third away and replaced it with a safer model from a different company. Repeat: Do NOT USE THIS CONVERTER FOR ANYTHING ANYWHERE.

Yes; you will still need a converter. It really is just an antenna that week help you get the clearest picture possible, but it isn't a substitute for a converter/doesn't have one built into it. It is a great antenna though.

not to my knowledge. . . . . you would need a converter of somekind . . . . I'm not even sure if these is such a device.

I do not see any reason why that wouldn't work. Obviously, the convertor is the key.

I don't know but I doubt it. I suspect you will need to use a converter in addition to it.

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.

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.

I don't know. If you can plug into a America like plug then yes, if not you will need a converter. My only problem with this product is the attachments won't stay in after about month it less. I use the big brush all the time so my husband put 2 short screws into it to hold it on. Which h works great.I would buy one like this wasn't interchangeable. Even through I like the idea cuz I do travel some.
