Yes and yes. "dvi-d with hdcp" Here is my understanding of it all. First dvi-d means digital signal only. hdcp (HD) means High-definition (CP) means copy protected i.e. you can't record the signal. As for the other part of the question. Is it able to be viewed like a tv and do you need to subscribe to hd with your cable provider?" Yes but, you have to have a cable box with a DVI output connector. Or some newer DVD players have dvi output. You didn't say what the name of your cable service is so i don't know if you have to subscribe (pay that is ) for HDTV or not. I'm on Cox cable and get HDTV for free.

Does a computer monitor produce a digital or analog picture?
It depends on your monitor. The big old CRT monitors are analog. The computer sends digital information to the monitor but it then gets turned into analog so the monitor can display that information. The LCD monitors are digital. The computer sends digital information to the monitor which it can display because it is digital.
Where would you find digital to analog in the computer?
You would find a digital to analog conversion taking place when you have a monitor with a VGA connection plugged into the computer. The computer would then have to convert digital signals into analog signals so the monitor could comprehend the data it is given.
Hooking two sources to monitor with digital and analog connections one at a time?
The analog source needs to be upscaled to dvi and the upscaled output fed to a switcher along with the digital source, you can then switch between the 2 sources with one digital output to the monitor.
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.
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.
My question is, what is digital TV?
Digital television has nothing to do with cable or satellite. The only thing digital television means is that the signal that is distributed is a digital one and not analog. The big switch that occurred two years ago means that everyone receives a digital signal. Now, if you want content, you are going to have to subscribe to a cable or satellite provider. What you probably saw was a basic service that gave you local channels, but not much else.

How analog instrument interfaced with a digital instrument?

Why do you have to get digital television?
Older TV sets use analog signals. In February, all TV signals that are now analog will become digital because it gives more efficient use of the bandwidth. Analog sets will not receive and interpret the images from a digital transmission. It's the same reason you can't use your old TV as a computer monitor.
