If your TV set was purchased with the last couple of years, it may already have a Digital Tuner, this will normally have some sort of marking typically on the back, stating this.

If it's an older TV set, you will need a Digital to Analogue Converter. These are readily available at most Consumer Electronics Stores. All you need to do, is connect this between your TV set and the Antenna.

Do I need a digital TV converter?

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.

If you have a digital tv and an outdoor antennae do you need a converter box?

In the US the answer is probably not. Digital and analog TV broadcasts use the same frequencies and antennas. Digital TV is more fussy about signal quality than the older analog signals. So if you get marginal analog reception, figure on getting a new antenna for digital. The idea that there are special HDTV antennas is just marketing hype. Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.
