Most big electronics stores (such as Dixons, Comet, Currys etc) sell digi-boxes. You can even buy them on -line from Amazon or eBay.
Digital television is simply the process of broadcasting a digital signal, instead of an analog one. This results in better sound and picture quality, as well as increased coverage.
Digital data requires less bandwidth than analog data (e.g. new digital television broadcast compared to old analog broadcast), so more data can fit in the same frequency (e.g. DSL compared to analog modems). This is the primary advantage, although it is also generally stated that data is easier to recover and more tolerant towards interference.

Analog services came first, as they were the primary means of communication and broadcasting before the advent of digital technology. Analog systems, such as traditional radio and television, transmitted signals in continuous waves. Digital services emerged later, utilizing discrete signals to improve the quality and efficiency of data transmission, leading to advancements in communication technologies.
Digital converters are used to convert an analog input into a digital current. They also have converters that covert from digital to analog. These are used for older model TVs that need to take a newer digital technology input but the tv still requires analog.
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.
Analog to digital television converters are a popular item that are widely available in department stores, electronic stores, discount stores, office supply shops, home improvement stores, warehouse clubs and even some dollar stores such as Dollar General. Online, they can be ordered from both Amazon and eBay.
The only time you will be in need of a digital converter is if you currently own an analog television that is connected to an over-the-air antenna signal.
Buy a new digital ready tv, get a digital receiver Sky or Freeview for your analogue tv
"Standard-definition" (meaning 480i) Cathode-ray tube televisions are analog. CRT TV's are easily identifiable by their immense weight and the fact that their depth nearly matches their width and height. Newer, hi-def (720p, 1080i/p) televisions are almost all either lcd, plasma, or dlp, all of which are digital. for digital TV monitor shouldnot be of CRT.
Old analog type TVs cannot just be "converted" to digital. You will need a converter box or buy a HD tv.
You need to buy a "Digital to Analog audio converter" (around $70 with Gefen brand). It will convert the Digital output (Optical) into a analog signal for your speakers. These converters rarely provide RCA cables(male/male) and Optical Cable(male/male). So you will have to buy them too. http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=5279
Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) are required to convert digital signals, which are represented as discrete values, into analog signals that can be used by various devices, such as speakers, televisions, and sensors. This conversion is essential for enabling digital devices to interact with the analog world, allowing us to hear sound, see images, or control physical systems. Without DACs, digital systems would be unable to effectively communicate or produce results in a format that can be perceived by humans or utilized by other analog devices.
27" Analog.
The time it took to change analog television signals to all digital took about 25 years. It started around 1986 and many television stations had converted over to digital signal by the year 2010. Persons who owned analog televisions had to either buy a new digital television or use a converter box to get a clear signal.
It depends.... 1. Buy an digital tv (Sdtv or Hdtv) plus an antenna. 2. Analog tv (if you have an older tv), buy a digital to analog converter box plus an antenna. 3. Analog tv and antenna connected to digital DVD or digital VCR.
