This Tv has a digital tuner? do i need a converter box for the digital channels?

No. The TV is fully compatible with any digital signal (Cable or Satellite) and will pull in any over-the-air digital signals in your area if you have an antenna.

A converter is not required to receive digital channels as broadcast TV is now digital. You will need a converter in order to view HD TV. I am on cable so I cannot state whether or not a digital antenna is required for non-cable users.

No, this box needs a fiber optic (Toslink) input for a digital output. It does not convert analog to digital.

Here's a website I made with diagram and guide on using a converter box to listen to Digital TV. YOu don't need a radio or TV set. The converter box is your "radio"http://www.lustronconnection.org/digitaltvonradio/

Not as far as I can tell. I would still need the digital tuner now required for antenna tv. All channels are currently static.

It only needs a converter box if your TV doesn't already have a built-in digital tuner. I happen to have an older HDTV that needed a tuner, so I bought the HomeWorx HW-150PVR on Amazon. That particular tuner has outputs for both standard TVs and HDTVs, which is a big plus compared to some of those converter boxes that only convert to a standard-quality signal. I hooked this antenna to the tuner, and then the tuner to the TV, and the overall setup works great.

Yes you will need one with a digital tuner, simply because the regular tv radio uses radio signals which are analog, not digital.

If your TV doesn't have a digital tuner then you would need a digital box converter.My TV is a fairly new Panasonic and has digital tuning.If you don't know about your TV, you can look up the manual on the Internet to see if it has a digital tuner.Hope that helps.

Based on my experience, this TV is unable to "interpret" a digital signal (analog only). You will need a QAM tuner if your cable company does not provide a set top box for digital channels.

This TV does not have a QAM Tuner built in, that is for digital channels. You need a box to receive channels from your cable co. or any box that receives signal. you can use antenna, use adaptor to plug into the DT plug on back. you then have to go to menu and set up scan to see what channels you can get. hope this helps !

You only need a digital converter box if you currently have an analog television(older tube type/not flat screen) connected to an over-the-air antenna signal.

No...if you have an older TV that doesn't have a digital tuner, you need a converter..but you don't get them from the cable company...you buy em...newer digital TVs will work with just a direct hook up.

I don't use the tuner as I get input from my DirecTV box. However, as I look at the specs, it has a PAL-BGH tuner. In you search wikipedia for this tuner, it appears to be analog not digital.

No you don't need a converter box as long as the TV's you are hooking up to are digital ready or HD TV's and to your seconded question I'm not sure what convertor is the best I never had to use one hope this helped.

I did not need the conversion box. I just screwed it into my digital flat TV and it worked fine. Just scan for channels. I get about 20 local channels here in mid town Memphis, Tn. I have to move it a little sometimes because of air planes. Im close to FedEx and the airport.

If your TV was shipped on or after March 1st, 2007, it has a digital tuner and doesn't need a converter box. Before that, it may have been analog only and would require a converter box. If it has a digital tuner, just connect the antenna coax to the coax connector on the back of the TV.

it has both a digital and an analog tuner. You should have no problems providing the channels are in the clear. IE - not scrambled. I have two of these units (500G, 1T) and they work famously w/ Time-Warner. Only wish they would accept cable cards.
