Answer 1

You don't need a converter box with cable tv  (unless it's Verizon fios and then you MAY need a box but I'm not sure the converter box that your thinking of would do it) so it won't help. What do you mean by "kind of weird" though. It should look fine since the cable hasn't been disconnected by the cable company yet.
