If you have a HDTV Antenna do you need a DTV Converter Box?

If you have a HDTV antenna for your TV, do you still need a DTV Converter Box?

There is no such thing as an “HD” or “digital” antenna, that’s just marketing hype. Any TV antenna will work equally as well for analog as for digital.

The need for the box depends on the TV. If you have an older analog style TV, then you need a converter box. If you have a newer TV with a built in ATSC digital tuner, then you do not need the box, because everything is built in to the TV. You do need a good antenna though.

If you have cable or satellite, none of this applies to you. Your cable or satellite company will take care of everything.
