You can adapt your analog TV by using a digital converter, which you should be able to find fairly easily among the big TV names, such as comcast, Verizon, and fios.

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.

Only if you have a digital output on your cable box. If not, it'll end up being a digital signal, converted to analog and then reconverted by your TV back to digital. Besides, the digital changeover date is only for local television stations when they turn off their analog transmitters. This means that if you currently have cable or satellite with analog outp[uts, that aspect of it shouldn't change.

Why are some converter boxes some cheap some expensive?

A Digital Television (DTV) Converter Box is an electronic device that converts the new free over-the-air digital signal into an analog signal viewable on older "analog" television set. The digital to analog converter box connects your antenna or rabbit ears to your TV set. It will allow you to continue watching TV after February 17, 2009, the day the transition to "all digital" takes place. A digital to analog converter box will not give you a digital picture on an analog TV set. Analog TV sets using the set top boxes will show digital broadcasts, but not in the full picture quality of digital TV. However, your picture will be better than it was with the old analog signal. Technically speaking about picture quality: The reason the picture quality won't be as good on an analog TV set is because of the display resolution. Analog TV screens aren't designed to display the same level of picture quality and resolution that is found in the digital TV signal.

What is the term for a device that converts digital data from a computer into analog signals and back again?

The devices are known very simply as analog to digital converters and digital to analog converters. They are frequently shorted to A-D and D-A converters. A complete analog to digital converter will not only convert the analog signal into a set of numbers, it will also format the digital data ready to deliver to the next step in the signal chain. In television, this means generating a fairly complex stream of data that will carry not only the picture but audio and other data as well. Digital to analog converters reverse the process and use the incoming data to generate an analog signal. In television, well know examples are the digital set top boxes. They receive digital data from an antenna and convert the numbers into analog audio and video signals.
