product will require a converter device in order for it to receive/record over-
the-air broadcasts via an antenna from your local TV stations. If you are a
pay TV subscriber, your cable or satellite box should provide this
functionality without additional equipment. Playback of recorded media
(e.g. DVD or VHS movies) should remain unaffected.
