All Americans need digital TV's because analog TV transmissions have ceased.
No, you do not need a digital converter box to use a DVD Player, all you need is a TV.
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 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.
All televisions need a tuner to receive digital signals but almost all modern televisions have an integrated tuner. By linking the antenna feed into the RF input of the television, you should have a complete system without needing an external tuner. This should be the case for almost all televisions sold from around 2008 onwards. Televisions sold before 2008 (and a few sold since then) are likely to need an external tuner or digital converter box. Although all televisions now sold should have the right tuner for the region, there will be some rare exceptions. Before buying a television, always ask if it has an integrated digital tuner.
The Model 6626LCT is digital ready, you do not need to buy a digital box as there is one built inside the television. The Digital Tuner inside the TV is ATSC which means all you need is a Digital Ready Aerial. Roof-mounted or Set-top. All you need to worry about after that is if your aerial will give you a good picture.One more thing, it will take you a while to install the channels onto your tv as there are hundreds of channels including radio.I hope this answer has been of much use.
All TVS that you can buy are ready for the digital signal. You do not have to buy an HD TV to get a digital signal.
If you get your signal from a cable company you might, all cable companies are not the same.
All televisions sold after March 1, 2007 include a digital tuner (by law) so you are good if you have bought a TV since then. If your television is labeled as �Integrated Digital Tuner,� �Digital Tuner Built-In,� �Digital Receiver,� �Digital Tuner,� �DTV,� �ATSC,� or �HDTV� then it has a built in device that will be fine after Feb. 17, 2009. If your television set is labeled as a �Digital Monitor� or �HDTV Monitor,� or as �Digital Ready� or �HDTV Ready,� this does not mean it actually contains a digital tuner. All this means is this TV is capable of handling the converter box. Thus, you still will likely need a separate set-top box which contains a digital tuner in order to view over-the-air digital programming.
