Digital Converter needed if you do not have digital ready tv. This is an antenna that grabs the digital channel signals out of the air. The signal reception it better that the passive digital antennas.

Any non-digital TV will need a digital converter between it and the antenna.

if your tv is not capable of digital conversion, yes you will need a digital convertor

If you have a television that already has a digital and an analogue tuner in it, do you still need a converter box for this?

Yes, u can buy optical cable to do it. If ur tv is old and does not support hdmi arc, you still cannot use hdmi ports.

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you

No. This converts component video and S/PDIF Toslink to HDMI. If you have HDMI coming out of your computer, you don't need this to hook up to a TV. HDMI carries audio and video. But your computer must be HDCP-compatible.

You don't need a digital converter for most new TV's. The RCA antenna will plug right into your cable input on your TV. You will need to go into the menu under setup and run a scan under antenna.

Yes you will need a cable card to make this work. If you are just wanting TV on your computer there are several other options to look at including http://www.hauppauge.com/. Hope that helps.

If you have a flat screen Tv and not the old tube tv, your tv will more than likely have a HDMI input. This mean you will only need to purchase a HDMI cable. However, if you do have an older model tv, I'm unable to answer your question.

You can use HDMI cable but the ht system keeps switching to DIGITAL IN automatically and you loose your tv picture. It happens over and over and it's annoying!

yes you can. if you don't have an optical or hdmi cable port on your tv, you can use the rca jacks for input/output

If your TV is so old that it needs a converter box, just get a new flat screen one. The picture on any HDTV is 1000x better than old analog. Besides, you know, being flat.

No you need to buy an RCA to HDMI converter. And that cable is useless they shouldn't even be selling it.

If your tv is digital,you do not need a digital to analog converter box. An analog tv requires that converter box to work with any antenna.

No you have a HDTV this device hooks from antenna to bring hd signal from the air and convert from digital to analog. Its made for old TV s only

Should be able to do it since it has a HDMI input. I'm using a component converter from my cable box as I have an older cable box that doesn't have HDMI output but I just went in and looked and it has the HDMI input as shown in the product description.

Can I hook up a regular converter box to this t.v. and get my local channels? I ordered this t.v. and I do not have cable or any paid services.
