The 411 is:
If you use rabbit ears, then you need a digital converter. EITHER your TV has one inside (it's an HDTV) or you need an external one (HD or non). The "free" converters are non-HD. If you're TV is not HD capable, then get the free converter. If your TV is HD capable, and has an internal decoder (HDTV) then you already have the setup ready. If your TV is HD capable, but does NOT have a decoder (it's an HD monitor, or one of the early HD CRT sets) then you want an HD decoder, which is NOT free. The Samsung DTB-H260F is the best on the market right now (and probably will be the last ever made).
If you use analog cable, then you can continue to use analog cable until they make the decision to go digital cable only (might be a few years)
If you use digital cable, then you're clear for the foreseeable future.
All satellite is digital (I think), and will not change in the near future.
all TV sets being sold todat are digital, and 95% of the or more have internal digital decoders, and require no converter box.
