If you get your signal from a cable company you might, all cable companies are not the same.
No, you do not need a digital converter box to use a DVD Player, all you need is a TV.
NO.
A tv antenna and a digital tv and/or a converter box.
No. You only need a converter box for analog TV and only if you receive your TV "over the air" with an antenna. If you have cable or satellite TV, you don't need a converter.
A digital converter converts the analog signals that are received by your TV to digital signals. Most TV providers only offer digital TV these days, so you only need it if you're still using analog.
Digital convertor boxes are meant for those who do not have newer TV sets with digital tuners built-in. The need for these came a few years ago with the digital changeover from the old analog signals. If you have cable or satellite as a provider, you do not need a converter at all. If you are currently using antenna TV and can actually see shows, then you do not need a box, you have a digital tuner already.
Before you buy a TV converter box, determine whether you actually need this device. If you are shopping for a box that converts analog to digital, first check whether your TV is already capable of receiving a digital signal. If not, you may want to consider upgrading your TV set to a digital model instead of spending on a converter box.
If you have cable or sattlelite hook up at your home, you really do not need a digital converter. If you only are using rabbit ears, you really would need a digital conterter box, so you would be able to watch TV.
Why would you need to hook up a digital converter to a satellite receiver ? Arn't they already digital ? stevecooper75@comcast.net
You probably won't need to get new televisions, and at worst would need to purchase a digital converter box for roughly fifty dollars.
Old analog type TVs cannot just be "converted" to digital. You will need a converter box or buy a HD tv.
No, you should not need a digital converter box anymore (unless you are still using an old analog television). Most digital televisions sold are capable of receiving both digital signals and the few remaining analog signals (permitted for very low power stations only at this time).
