Does my Trutech PLV16190 require a digital converter box?

Yes, you need a digital (ATSC) to analog (NTSC) OTA converter box to get local over-the-air channels. This TV only has an NTSC tuner included.

I hope this helps.

Yes. It needs an external DTV box for digital channels.

Hello
There is no details or user manuals in NET about your Trutech TV. If you have its owners manual with you now, go to its specification page, and see whether this TV have internal digital tuner or not. It will be speicied there. If there is internal digital tuner, you need not buy an external converter box. In not you have to. OK.

U require a good antenna no need for a converter box,because this tv is digital tv.

If your TV has ATSC (for on the air HD TV tuner) tuner, then you do not need any box. Please see your user manual.

yes it does,also use an hdtv antenna with the
converter box.you may need an outside hdtv
antenna to pick up all digital channels.

to add to what MIKEY-MOORE wrote, OUR government was offering discount ($20 off a $40-$45) coupons on a digital converter box that you can use your original antenna ( I still use my original nineteen and 65 (1965) rabbit ears antenna) to receive the digital signals NOW being transmitted through the air. In order to receive the signals YOU MUST get the converter. GOTO any Radio Shack, Walmart, to acquire the converter box. You will need one for EVERY tv in your house. I have a HDTV (but not digital) and I had to buy 3 boxes.

if you are going to continue using the rooftop antenna, then you will nee to purchase a digital converter box. Those television sets are only analog. You do have an option to get Directv or Dish network and you will not need a converter box at all. Directv and Dish network are 100% Digital and the receivers work as converter boxes for that product only.

Your digital converter box? Well lets check your antenna is it digital complaint?
