What is a decent analog to digital converter for my LCD TV?

Okay, I have a LCD tv and a cable box for my signal, but how come I have to pay extra for HD programming? If the U.S. just went through it a great "digital switchover" issue, is not the broadcast is digital now? And if it is, what resolution to broadcast? Do I have to buy an external converter to get an HD signal for my HDTV?

Answer your specific questions: 1. Why pay for additional HD channels on your cable? It just free enterprise. The cable companies that own the facilities, and providing services to customers of the facilities. They charge fees for services, and fees vary according to services provided. HD channels take up more cable bandwidth than standard-def (SD) digital channels, so they feel justified in getting a greater return from them. 2. After the U.S. digital cutover in June, is not now broadcasts to all digital? Yes, but in June cutover has nothing to what you get with your cable. That's affected over-the-air (OTA) transmissions. Besides, you really have issues related to analog signals. You have a cable receiver (digital set-top box, or STB), so the channels you are receiving at least SD digital. 3. Digital television (DTV) broadcasts is what resolution? They can be for SD 480i, 480p for "enhanced meaning of "DTV, and either 720p or 1080i for HD. NBC and CBS prime time network programs are in 1080i. Fox, ABC, and ESPN use 720p. 4. Do you need an external converter to get HD channels? With no cable, all you have to do is subscribe to their HD channel package. Your STB is not the care its input is SD or HD. Same for the satellite. For Ota, need no more at all, assuming you have received a great antenna and in a place with good DTV reception.
