Answer 1

No--you will not need a converter box for the TV you have when using rabbit ears.  This set has a built in digital tuner

Answer 2

If you use digital cable, satellite, etc, meaning t.v. you pay for, then you don't need the converter box. The only reason you'd need one is if you just used free basic cable, which is broadcast in analog. That includes using rabbit-ear antennas, too. Otherwise, you should survive the conversion just fine.
