I ordered a CECB online last night, the Insignia NS-DXA1.

Will I need to buy an antenna as well, or how would that work?

Anyone know?

i might know if you explain what its for

maybe the anntenae would work better than without one.

the analog to digital converter boxes

yes, you will need rabit ears or, an outside ant.(I have received my coupons for the conv. box.)put it on last night. the smart ant. is recommended. because it says-- a more powerful antenna may be required to boost reception for the Digital TV signal.

Thanks, I'm not sure if the Insignia NS-DXA1 has smart antenna or not.

all the conv. boxes will have the hook-up for the smart ant.

I've been reading a little about the smart antenna, for what I understand it's basically a virtual antenna? I wonder how that actually helps any.

basicly if you got sat, cable your fine and don't need the box only peps who need that piece are people who get tv thru rabit ears.

or peeps who have to have antennas 60 feet tall because we are soooooo far from any stations

anyone with cable tv or a dish, (Will not need a box.)

i have a question when (once feb gets her) i use my converter box for my old anolog tv am i viewing "digital tv" or just old anolog tv

your fine buddy no need to change notta

DTV converter boxes tend to work better if you've got an external antenna on the top of your house or apartment building. You MIGHT get some DTV lovin' with an internal antenna ("bunny ears"), but your results will more-than-likely vary.

An even better prospect would be to go out and get a TV signal amplifier, which will add approximately 10dB of boost to the bandwidth going into your TV. Channel Master makes one that works REALLY well- it's about the size of two cans of Spam placed side by side, and runs off of AC power. It's fairly cheap, too- only twenty smackers.

It's just the thing you need if you get poor reception, as it will allow you to get the signals you wouldn't get normally.
