A number of years ago, in the early days of consumer HD television there was an analog high definition component signal format available. Since then, manufacturers and content publishers have agreed that HDMI is the only HD interface to be available on equipment. Although the signal interface also carries audio and other data on a single cable, it does not benefit the consumer.
It is unlikely that any other analog interface will become available for HD signals.
There are a number of adapters that can accept HDMI signals and deliver an analog signal, normally in the form of a VGA signal. Some work better than others but many can be adversely affected by HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) which can prevent the signals being converted to their analog form.

Can you use old antena with converter box to get HD on your anolog tv?
For most people, their old antenna will work just fine. Don't let the people at the electronics store fool you, there is no such thing as an "HD antenna." There is nothing special that needs to be done to an antenna to receive HD signals. In fact, many of the antennas that are being marketed as "HD antennas" are inferior UHF-only antennas that receive a smaller set of signals than your old antenna. However, some people who were barely receiving an analog signal may need to buy a better antenna. Also, if the location of the digital transmitter has changed or the signal strength of the TV station has changed, you may need to re-aim or replace your old antenna. Simply plug the old antenna into the converter box and then plug the converter box into your old TV where the antenna used to go and you will be fine. The converter box will tune in a digital station (some digital stations are HD, some are not) and convert the digital signal into an old-fashioned analog standard definition signal and feed it into your old analog TV. You will not be able to watch shows in HD on your old analog TV, but you will be able to watch a version of the HD broadcast that has been converted into Standard Definition (SD) for you. You will be able to watch all of the digital stations including the HD ones but you will see them in Standard Definition. Standard Definition is 480i. Digital to Analog converter boxes receive all tv transmissions of 1080P , 1080i , 720P , 480P , 480i and coverts them ALL to 480i to watch on a standard definition NTSC Analog TV.
Will the digital TV signal cause damage to an analog TV that does not have a digital converter box?
No.
Which television network was first to broadcast a high definition signal in 1997?
inaugural hdtv broadcast in the united states
Which device is used to convert digital signals to analog signals or analog signals to digital signals?
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.
Will a set top box improve signal quality for your 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.
Does a high definition signal work on an analog tv?
only with a converter box, but then it becomes just standard definition
What cable needed for Blu-ray to none digitial tv?
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.
Will a high def DVD player and DVD work on a regular tv?
Most Blueray high definition players have an analog output that delivers standard definition signals. If a high definition disc is played, the output will normally provide an SD version of the content. Using the analog output means that it is possible to use Blueray players on SD televisions. When an HD television is installed, the HDMI port can be used to obtain HD video. Before purchasing a Blueray player, check that it has an analog output and that it provides a down converted signal of HD material on the analog ports.
Does a kv-36hs500 by Sony need a converter box?
Yes, this model will need a converter box to function after the digital conversion. I have the same television and called SONY to find out. The model has an analog tuner, therfore it requires a digital to analog converter box. This model is capable of high definition video quality because it has a picture resolution of 1080i. I am buying the Samsung DTB-H260F Digital Receiver for a converter box because it will provide the television with a high definition analog signal through the component video outputs. If you buy a lesser converter box it will only provide a 420i signal to the television even if an over the air high definition signal is available.
Are Blu-ray DVD compatible on front projection TVs?
Yes they are. Bluray players have an HDMI output for their high definition signal output as well as analog connections for compatibility with displays that are not HDMI compatible.
Is a Toshiba 48 theater view tv high definition?
No, it is an analog tv and requires a digital converter box to receive a digital signal off the air. No problem if you have satellite or cable service. Either way, the image will not be HD.
Do you need a high definition tv to have a blu ray player?
To watch in high definition, you must have an HD television with an HDMI connection. However, using the analog outputs from a Bluray player, any standard definition television can be used.
What is digital and analog?
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)
What equipment you need to play blu-ray disc?
You will require a Bluray player to play a disc. To watch content in high definition, you will need an HD television with an HDMI connection between them. However, Bluray players have analog outputs to allow a standard definition signal to be connected to non HD televisions.
Exampl for analog communication?
In Analog communication, the analog message signal modulates some high carrier frequency inside the transmitter to produce modulated signal.this modulated signal is then transmitted with the help of a transmitting antenna to travel through the transmission channel. At the receiver, this modulated signal is received and processed to recover the original message signal. Example: AM , FM radio transmission an TV transmission.
How is an analog signal used in a tv?
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.
What is digital analog?
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.
