Does a Sanyo 30" flattscreen have a converter built inside

Sounds like you need a stronger antenna or to adjust your antenna. It's pointless to put a digital converter box on your tv as it already has the capabilities of reading digits signals built in.

If your TV has the screw-on coaxial cable connection on the back, then you will not need a converter box. You can attach an internal or external antenna and have your TV scan for digital channels. The converter boxes are mostly for old CRT TVs with analog tuners or newer home theater "monitor" TVs which are being produced without built in tuners.

antenna to converter converter to tv tv on ch3 (analog)

no need of a coneverter box.

DP models are already digital there is no need of a converter box. connect a outdoor antenna to the tv directly.

hiya

what you may need is a freeview box unless ur tv has in built digital

rik

yes because it doesnt have a digital receiver built in. and all analog signals currently broadcasting through the air will convert to digital.

u can get 2 $40 coupons towards the purchase of a converter from https://www.dtv2009.gov/

I just checked the owners manual online. Looks like this model only has an NTSC analog tuner. No ATSC digital tuner built in.

If you use cable or satellite TV services, the digital converters won't help you. The coupon-eligible ones are strictly for use with a traditional antenna. If this is your situation, ignore the remainder of this message.

If you use a regular TV antenna with this TV, then, yes, you will need a converter box. FYI, the Insignia model at Best Buy and the Zenith at Circuit City, and elsewhere (radio shack) have gotten good reviews from early purchasers. More converter box models will be available in a few months time.

If your current reception with your antenna is poor (snowy), you may have problems receiving the new DTV signals. If not, you should be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the DTV signals - and the extra "virtual" channels. Try the converter box using the RCA video and audio inputs, for a slightly better picture than with the coaxial cable inputs.

Good Luck

Not if you have cable TV, satellite TV, or FIOS. If so, a converter won't do anything for you. Not needed.

If, however, you only use a regular TV antenna or rabbit ears, you will need a converter box as this model TV only has an NTSC analog tuner built in.

No digital tuner inside. Will have to have a converter box in Feb 2009 for digital: Search "the fcc on digital tv transmission" on the internet for useful information on the upcoming digital age..
