Do you need a digital converter for each old television you have?
Dibrisc
In order to watch different channels on each of the televisions a separate set top box is needed for every television. Each set top box should connect to the antenna feed that has been connected to the analog RF input of the television.
If you are happy to have one channel on two televisions, a set top box that has two video and audio outputs will drive both televisions. They will show the same channel at all times of course.

Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.
