Question

Do you need an antenna for your dtv converter box?

Answer 1

Yes, that's what converter boxes are all about - converting over-the-air digital signals to analog. If you have cable or satellite, you don't need a converter box. If you want over-the-air signals, you need an antenna.

Answer 2

Yes. In North America, digital TV broadcasts use the same antennas as the old analog ones.

All of the coupon type converters have a standard "antenna in" "F" coax connector just like modern TVs have. They have both a coax out that you can connect to your TV's antenna input and composite outputs that can be hooked up like DVD player.

Answer 3

yes you do, all digital tv is in a nutshell, is the same analog channels but instead of carring just one video and two audio channels , the one analog channel now carries multiple 480p channels that include audio. the same roof top antenas that work with current analog tv will work with digital.

Answer 4

on the commercial it says that some tvs may still need an antenna. so it just depends
