    If you are receiving a signal without an antenna, you have cable or a satellite, right? In that event, you do not need a converter box.

    Does tech support for Verizon include some primer on watching TV? Maybe you should look it up.

    you are set for the transition because the only ones who need are the ones that don't have cable and watch tv through an antenna.

    no...if you get tv by an antenna then you need one...you get tv by plugging into an outlet on your wall...some people do not have that luxury if they live in an area where the cable company has not run wires yet.

    No, it is only if you use an antena to pick up stations on a TV that does not have a HD or digital tuner built in.
