Old analog type TVs cannot just be "converted" to digital. You will need a converter box or buy a HD 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.
The signal sent to the TV must be a digital signal as well.
A tv antenna and a digital tv and/or a converter box.

What kind of digital converter? Digital TV converter? Digital sound converter? Video converter? So many different analogue sources can be converted to digital... ...and there is usually a converter available or that can be made to work.
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.
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.
Yes. Digital signal are sent to the cable or satellite box and then converted to a usable signal for you TV RF, or vidio via RCA jacks. The SD stands for STANDARD DEF> NOT HIGH DEF. so your picture is still good digital but not HIGH Def.

No, but that doesn't mean you have to toss it. Kipkay has an excellent video on YouTube detailing how to get a converter box to run portably, but it is still far bulkier than you may want it to be. Still, if you're willing to lug that thing around, go for it. It's not that heavy. Plus, if you're going to throw it out, at least give it to me...
Satellite TV Providers transmits the signals through their satellite dish converting it first from digital signals to analog signals. These signals which were converted will be transmitted to the satellite. The satellite will then transmit the analog signals per request of the satellite dish connected to the receiver of the subscriber. Once signals are received, it will be converted back to digital signals which can be read by the receiver and be displayed to the television.
