Digital Do you know if this a digital tv? I am wondering if I not to but digital converter box for the switch next year.

If you have Direct TV you will not need a converter box. However that does not mean that Direct TV will provide all of the digital channels that are available in your area. If you want to receive all of the digital channels you may need to purchase a converter box and switch between Direct TV's box and the converter box.

For example, in many cities stations may have 3 or 4 digital channels running but Direct TV is only offering the main channel. In order to watch the alternate channels you would need to unplug the Direct TV box from your TV and plug in a digital converter box.

If you sign up for the $40 coupon currently offered by the Federal government, you can get a converter box for next to nothing. Prices of the basic converter boxes range from about $40 to $90.

Nope. Not a digital Television. I'm guessing it's an older one. Most TV's sold nowdays are Digital TV ready.
