I'm getting rid of my satellite & going to get Netflix & a Roku box. Do I need a digital converter?

All my TVs are analog. I know, time to enter the new millenium...I'm not quite ready yet. Do I have to buy a digital converter to get regular TV? If so, which one gets the best reception?

    One has nothing to do with the other. The Roku will convert everything it streams to your TV. It does not connect to an antenna, cable, satellite, You will need a converter box to watch tv stations in your area.

    if the area where you live has migrated to digital broadcasting, yes, you'll need a converter if your tv doesn't have a digital tuner. The tuner hooks up between the tv and the antenna. See link below for information about antennas and lots of other information related to OTA tv reception.
