TV signal converters

Is anybody buying the digital TV converters for their rigs? I'd like to know if connecting the converter between the antenna and the booster will allow both my TV's to work with one converter like it does without it or do I need one for each TV. OR, is there a better solution? We like to get local channels wherever we are so we can get local news and ads and so one wherever we are. So if anybody has a better and more simple solution I'd like to hear about it.

The converter ccnverts one channel at a time and feeds it to either channel 3 or 4, so you will need one for each tv.

Unless you are satisfied to watch one channel on two TV's. If you primarily watch TV in the LR, and only use the BR tv at night when you go to bed, you only really need one converter for two tv's. To change the channels thought, you would need line-of-sight to the converter, or by a RF channel changer from shady-o-rack. You will also need a splitter. If you use campground cable, then you want a converter box that has a pass through when it is turned off to allow the cable signal to pass through and not be affected by the converter box.

Edited: p.s., the converter box goes between the tv and booster. The batwing antenna is not the "best" on the market and the signal has to be amplified before going to either the tv or the converter. If you tried to put the converter between the antenna and booster you may end up with poor or no digital picture.
