  1. In simple terms.

    The digital set top box also called a converter box is a TV channel changer for digital TV signals received with a TV antenna, or rabbit ears.

    If your TV set has a digital tuner (channel changer) built in you do not need one.

    The old style (analog) tuner won't pick up digital signals thus the need for the box.  

    If you have cable TV or satellite the cable/satellite system does the conversion for you so you don't need one.

    Make sure your new TV has a built in tuner.
