Huh?

I would respectfully ask what you are talking about.

Why would they "STILL NEED AN ANTENNA"? The -only- reason they would
need a converter box in the first place is because they are already
getting their TV signal from an existing antenna. If they already have
it (and they HAVE to), why would you say they need to get an antenna?

And no, in most cases, they will not NEED the color coded cables as the
large majority of the converters -also- have an RF output (Ch. 3 or 4)
and many (but not all) converters include the color coded and/or RF
output cable(s).
