Default Do I need to get a converter box?

I have vcrs attached to my cable boxes. I get Directv (which I know is a digital signal). The guy on tv says "you don't have to do anything, you already get a digital signal so when the thing changes, you do NOTHING".

Just now, someone told me "all vcrs are analog so you have to hook them up to a converter box".

I don't believe him.

Someone help!!

And no, I can't afford the dvr thing just yet. We still have many co-pays so for now, we have the vcrs.

Thanks much

Melody
