What else can I help you with?
How do you know if you have an analog tv?
You won't be able to receive any stations after the changeover.
Are analog t.v.s completely obsolete now?
No, you can still use an analog TV, but you will need a converter box to receive digital cable.
If some stations are digital and some aren't am I going to still be able to get all the channels?
Some converter boxes have an 'Analog pass through' feature allowing for just that. All stations will be required to broadcast in digital as of June. While this date has been pushed back a few times, this new deadline seems fairly solid. Get the converter box, you will love the new stations and services. There is also rebates so the boxes cost almost nothing. The truth is that some translators and some low power TV Stations will be transmitting NTSC Analog after June 12, 2009 so with a NTSC Analog TV Tuner and an ATSC Digital TV Tuner you will receive all channels.
Do you need a converter box with a digital TV?
No. You only need a converter box for analog TV and only if you receive your TV "over the air" with an antenna. If you have cable or satellite TV, you don't need a converter.
What is an analog-to-digital converter?
An analog-to-digital converter is a device which converts an infinite resolution analog signal to a finite resolution digital signal.
Do you need a converter box if you have a HDTV and DTV antenna?
Yes, it is alright to use a converter box on an HDTV. Go to Input and change the settings from HDTV to regular television viewing and it should work fine after the television scans for programs.
Why would you have picure on video channel but not on tv channelswhat would cause this?
All analog tv stations are off the air. Your tuner is analog unless the device is a very late model. You might need a HDTV converter.
What converts a message from digital to analog and analog to digital?
An DAC convert digital signal to analog signal i.e Digital to Analog Converter. An ADC convert analog signal to digital signal i.e Analog to Digital Converter.
Can it possible the Analog to digital converter transforms a group of discreet numbers into a continuous analog voltage?
Well you can use Digital-Analog Converter to do the same operation.
Do you have to have a digital converter box?
No, you should not need a digital converter box anymore (unless you are still using an old analog television). Most digital televisions sold are capable of receiving both digital signals and the few remaining analog signals (permitted for very low power stations only at this time).
Is it possible the Analog to digital converter transforms a group of discreet numbers into a continuous analog voltage?
No its not possible.To transform a group of discrete number into a continuous analog voltage we need digital to analog converter.
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.
