Could someone clarify please. I have an old RCA tube TV in the bedroom that is hooked up to DishNetwork satellite. Do I need to get a conveter box for the Feb. Digital switch over?

If you are hooked up to cable or satellite no you do not. If you ever use that TV wihout either of those then you wont get any signals.

What he said.

The converter boxes are ONLY needed to pick up signals over the air. Anyone with cable/satellite/IPTV don't need them.

I think I would keep one just in case.

oh, of course. The only thing is they have expiration dates on them and I didn't realize that until you get them. Mine expire before the switch over takes place so I probably going to have to get one just in case but ,FYI, if you haven't sent for your cards yet be aware that they have a 90 DAY expiration date on them.
