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.
Yes, you will need either a Artec or DTV Pal converter box.
All of the cable companies are dropping analog channels in the near future.They are doing this in an effort to offer more HD (High Definition) programming.Newer sets with digital tuners will work without a converter box but older sets with analog tuners will go black.The $8.95 fee is a rental fee for up to four converter boxes.
You can buy them at several online stores like the Sony website, the amazon website others. You may also consider trying to find a used one at a local computer shop. If you don't find a used one there you might find one on craigslist or ebay. I don't think any of the big box stores carry them, but don't quote me on that. I could be totally wrong. If you have a Best Buy or Circuit City nearby you might want to go check there.

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.
No
Depends. Do you need a converter box to hook up the TV to the antenna? No. You just connect the antenna to the TV's antenna input. Do you need the converter box to see "X" channel? Maybe. If "X" isn't broadcasting "over the air" in your location, then you will need a) cable or satellite service and b) the converter box.
