I had an older set and a newer set, the older on with an aerial, the newer one on satellite. I started having problems with some stations with the older set, so I purchased a new, flat TV, that looks like a computer monitor, and connected it to my aerial. I was absolutely amazed at all the stations that one can now get free. There are some stations I can get with the aerial that I can not get on satellite, and of course, vice versa. I hope the box does the same things with the older sets, but I guarantee, the older sets will never give the same quality picture as the newer ones.
I think that sets attached to cable or satellites do not need the box.

I have an older set that is plugged directly into the cable (no set-top box). Is it a good assumption that we won't need a converter box. All the information out there is pretty confusing. Even the TV salespeople at Sears couldn't give me a good definitive answer (well, they may want to sell me a set)!
