A digital converter? Do I need? - Solved first post.

I don't pay for television service cuz I don't watch much TV and I gots the Hulu and the Youtube on my 360. But, I do enjoy watching some junk on broadcast on occasion. So, I have two fairly new flatscreen hdtvs, one Toshiba and one Vizio, and I'm a bit confused on whether or not I need to buy two digital converters or if I can just buy two regular old rabbit ears.

So, like... help.

Edit: I've actually attempted to find this answer myself on Google, but... yeah.... no go.

    You can get an HD antenna and pick up OTA (over the air) HD channels fo' frizzle.

    I'm reasonably certain any newer TV has a built-in digital antenna receiver. You do not need anything extra to pick up OTA channels

    yea, if you have an HDTV, it more than likely has a digital tuner. But to be safe, just google your TV model number and look as the specs.
