Which tv's need converter box?

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.

Why are some converter boxes some cheap some expensive?

A Digital Television (DTV) Converter Box is an electronic device that converts the new free over-the-air digital signal into an analog signal viewable on older "analog" television set. The digital to analog converter box connects your antenna or rabbit ears to your TV set. It will allow you to continue watching TV after February 17, 2009, the day the transition to "all digital" takes place. A digital to analog converter box will not give you a digital picture on an analog TV set. Analog TV sets using the set top boxes will show digital broadcasts, but not in the full picture quality of digital TV. However, your picture will be better than it was with the old analog signal. Technically speaking about picture quality: The reason the picture quality won't be as good on an analog TV set is because of the display resolution. Analog TV screens aren't designed to display the same level of picture quality and resolution that is found in the digital TV signal.
