Yeah...analog TV is no longer broadcast over the airwaves. So you need a DTV signal converter box. The ones I've seen are cheap POS type affairs, and your POS remote that comes with it controls the channels on the converter box. So once you get it working, you NEVER change channels again on the TV itself. BUT if your TV still needs a regular remote for such things as volume and on/off, you end up having to keep track of TWO remotes.
I was "blessed" by my old TV going out a couple months before analog TV went dark, so I bought a digital set when I replaced it...so I've never had to mess with the converter box on my own TV. But I've had to try to keep my 81-year-old mother straightened out on hers, so when I say that most of these converters are in the POS category, I'm actually being charitable about it.
When the big change happened, everyone from Radio Shack to Rite Aid, CVS, and Walgreens sold those converter boxes...and none of 'em impressed me with their quality.
