In standard definition TV sets, analog covers most anything picture related plus the audio, once the FM signal is demodulated. In the new HDTV (digital sets) about the only portion of the TV is the sound system once it's been separated from the digital audio stream.
we often confuse our-self with continuous time and analog signals. An analog signal is a signal which can take any amplitude in continuous range that is signal amplitude can take infinite values on the other hand a digital signal is one whose amplitude can take only finite numbers of values THE TERM CONTINUOUS SIGNAL AND DISCRETE SIGNAL CLASSIFY THE SIGNALS ALONG THE TIME (i.e. horizontal axis) where as THE TERM ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNAL CLASSIFY THE SIGNAL ALONG THE AMPLITUDE (i.e vertical axis)
Analog TV:Analog (or analogue) television encodes television picture and sound information and transmits it as an analog signal: one in which the message conveyed by the broadcast signal is a function of deliberate variations in the amplitude and/or frequency of the signal. All systems preceding digital television, such as NTSC, PAL or SECAM are analog television systems. Digital TV:Digital television (DTV) is the sending and receiving of moving images and sound by discrete (digital) signals, in contrast to the analog signals used by analog TV.
Set top box is basically used to convert the digital signals broadcasted by digital signal broadcasters to analog signals, in case you wish to have your analog tv, but would like to have an access to digital channels. Digital channels definitely have better quality signals than analog and therefore you will have a better picture quality and signal quality even though you have converted the digital signals to analog.
Buy a new digital ready tv, get a digital receiver Sky or Freeview for your analogue tv

When you convert digital signal to analog, it is called as an analog signal. The device used is called digital to analog converter.
The set top box that your provider gives you is what converts the Digital signal to the analog signal. The digital signal is compressed at the provider and sent to the end user. The "tuner" (which can be built into a tv, a set top box or a cable card) Then decompresses the digital signal and converts it into an analog signal. There is much more to this did not know how technical you wanted your answer.
A; An analog oscilloscope will display a signal to a CRT the same principle as a TV can display movies
No.
Blu-Ray players normally have RCA jacks for analog outputs. It is these that can be used to connect to analog televisions but the signal will be standard definition rather than high definition.
modem Measuring usually the voltage of the analog signal many times a second in binary number code generates a digital signal, and using a binary number code to control the voltage of an output results in a reproduced analog signal. That is what is done for stuff like digital television. A Modem (prior answer) is for when the analog signals are used to connect digital computers (like yours) together, usually over a long distance.
