The HDTV converter will need its own remote, one that designed to communicate with it. Without a remote you can change channels with the up and down buttons on the converter. But other features such as the guide, zoom features, etc will be unavailable.

Here's one with remote...

Here's a remote only...

But definitely cheaper to get one with remote included.
