"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.

∙ 12y agoThough the TV cannot be altered, a set top box can be purchased fairly cheaply, about £20.00 in the UK. If you watch broadcast television (by means of an antenna) rather than using cable TV, you can convert your analog TV to digital by means of a digital converter box, which should be easily available in any electronics supply store.

∙ 16y ago"Digital" is a very vague term for televisions. A telelvision can be called digital if any part of the signal path uses digital data. Therefore, any plasma or LCD telelvision is digital as they all use digital signals in generating an image. The question probably refers to digital inputs. If it has a digital receiver built in, for terrestrial digital broadcasts (UK Freeview, for example) or has a digital cable decoder, then it can be called digital. In these cases, the manual will point out that it is a digital TV. If the television has HDMI or DVI inputs, both of these are digital inputs and it is therefore a "digital" television. A better definition of "digital" in this question would get a better answer.

∙ 11y agoYou cannot convert an television from analog to digital however, they do have converters that can connect to the analog televisions which allows the user to watch digital television. These converters are available at places like Wal-Mart or can be ordered from an online source such as Amazon.

Will the digital TV signal cause damage to an analog TV that does not have a digital converter box?
No.
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.
Does the sony grand wega KF-50WE610 have a digital tuner?
No, it doesn't. If a TV does have a Digital Tuner then it will say so in the menu.
If you have a digital tv and an outdoor antennae do you need a converter box?
In the US the answer is probably not. Digital and analog TV broadcasts use the same frequencies and antennas. Digital TV is more fussy about signal quality than the older analog signals. So if you get marginal analog reception, figure on getting a new antenna for digital. The idea that there are special HDTV antennas is just marketing hype. Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.
Can you convert a TV to digital TV?
It is not possible to convert an analog television to a digital television. However, by using a digital set top receiver, it is possible to receive digital signals and deliver them as an analog signal to an analog television. Digital receivers are not expensive, starting at around $25 in US and £20 in the UK. They will allow all terrestrial channels to be received in the same way that a digital television will. Cable and satellite receivers can also receive digital signals and will provide an analog output that can be used with older televisions. With these options, there is no need to replace analog televisions right away. Remember that analog only televisions will not be HD so don't expect a sudden increase in picture quality when the digital receivers are used.
How can you convert the digital to analog or analog to digital?
Buy a new digital ready tv, get a digital receiver Sky or Freeview for your analogue tv
Is GE TV Model 27GT617 analog or digital?

What are digital converters used for?
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.
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.
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.
Will the digital TV signal cause damage to an analog TV that does not have a digital converter box?
No.
What is the purpose of a digital converter?
A digital converter converts the analog signals that are received by your TV to digital signals. Most TV providers only offer digital TV these days, so you only need it if you're still using analog.
Will your digital television that's receiving an analog signal from comcast be a clear picture digital signal when you go digital in 2009?
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.

What does digital switchover mean?
Digital switchover refers to the stopping of analog television service and the initiation of digital television service.
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.
