Yes, this model will need a converter box to function after the digital conversion. I have the same television and called SONY to find out. The model has an analog tuner, therfore it requires a digital to analog converter box. This model is capable of high definition video quality because it has a picture resolution of 1080i. I am buying the Samsung DTB-H260F Digital Receiver for a converter box because it will provide the television with a high definition analog signal through the component video outputs. If you buy a lesser converter box it will only provide a 420i signal to the television even if an over the air high definition signal is available.
I do not believe you gain "Extra Channels." The Converter box is to convert the Digital over the air signal to a non-digital TV so you can still receive channels after the analog signal broadcasts are going to stop on Feb. 17th, 2009 in the US.
only with a converter box, but then it becomes just standard definition
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 get your signal from a cable company you might, all cable companies are not the same.
