Before you buy a TV converter box, determine whether you actually need this device. If you are shopping for a box that converts analog to digital, first check whether your TV is already capable of receiving a digital signal. If not, you may want to consider upgrading your TV set to a digital model instead of spending on a converter box.
A digital converter box for a Symphonic TV can be found at most local electronic stores. Cable companies also provide digital converter boxes for subscribers.
If you have cable or sattlelite hook up at your home, you really do not need a digital converter. If you only are using rabbit ears, you really would need a digital conterter box, so you would be able to watch TV.
No.
TV's only need a converter box if they previously are using antennas to get channels. Otherwise, TV's won't need one at all. Remember: if you are using antennas, be sure to get a converter box before June of 2009. (That is when all TV's will be going digital.) Tv's that do not have a ATSC Digital Tuner will need a converter box to watch over the air broadcast television. And the TRUTH is that some translator stations and low power stations will not change until later. FULL POWER Stations will go to digital on 06-12-2009.
Does you new plasma have a digital tuner? If not then that's why you need a converter or just a cable box so you can get a signal to your plasma. With a converter box you will receive free local tv channels in digital form. You could say HD almost without paying for it.
No, you should not need a digital converter box anymore (unless you are still using an old analog television). Most digital televisions sold are capable of receiving both digital signals and the few remaining analog signals (permitted for very low power stations only at this time).
Yes, it is alright to use a converter box on an HDTV. Go to Input and change the settings from HDTV to regular television viewing and it should work fine after the television scans for programs.
