High Donald, I don't remember who it was, but someone said something about having a satellite and or a cable box, a DTV converter is not needed. The problem with this for me is, I have Dish Network. I get some loco channels, but it wont pick up WCJV. Here in Lake City Florida, you have to have either cable or an antenna to get that channel. I will check out the website you posted and see what they have. My best regards. John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald L.
