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.

∙ 11y agoIn North America, almost all commercial television stations have ceased to broadcast analog signals. However, there are a very few small commercial stations and some non-commercial community channels that are still licensed to transmit analog signals. They are generally stations of very limited output power and where conversion to digital would be financially difficult for the organization.

Can I receive digital cable on a digital tv?
No my local channels all but one that is broadcast in both analog and HD digital but they tend to black out a lot. But with a powered antenna the kind you plug into the wall i get a beautiful crisp clean HD picture you can pick a good one up for around 30-40 bucks but don't buy the cheap 15 dollar one's :)
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.
If you have digital cable and a converter from your cable company how do you sequence that box and a DVR you buy so that you can record any channel and view one while recording another?
If you were receiving a broadband analog signal, you could put in a signal splitter after the cable box, one line going to your TV and the other line to the DVR, as each has its own tuner. They would both receive a full choice of channels. Since you are receiving an encrypted digital signal, and want to two channels to change (for ''both'' the TV or the DVR), you might need two tuners, which essentially "splits" the digital signal to your desired channel across two. Sometimes cable companies will give you a deal for two converter boxes. Try looking at the VEG-N video unit by http://www.rtv-veg.com/. It might do what you want.

Channel 9 might sell It's 9 Darwin and NBN Television Stations to WIN Television Very Soon!
What channels are going digital?
All full power broadcasters in the US have switched.
What are the extra channels you get from a converter box?
I do not believe you gain "Extra Channels." The Converter box is to convert the Digital over the air signal to a non-digital TV so you can still receive channels after the analog signal broadcasts are going to stop on Feb. 17th, 2009 in the US.
Which tv's need converter box?
TV's only need a converter box if they previously are using antennas to get channels. Otherwise, TV's won't need one at all. Remember: if you are using antennas, be sure to get a converter box before June of 2009. (That is when all TV's will be going digital.) Tv's that do not have a ATSC Digital Tuner will need a converter box to watch over the air broadcast television. And the TRUTH is that some translator stations and low power stations will not change until later. FULL POWER Stations will go to digital on 06-12-2009.
Are satellite TV stations going to be broadcast in digital?
Satellite broadcasters such as direct tv and dish network have all ways transmitted digital from day one.
Why did the US change to digital?
Digital TV, you mean? It was to provide more bandwidth. Supposedly, programs were going to be sharper, clearer BUT of course networks and station owners went the shoddy route: more channels, each one no better (and usually worse) than the analog channels they replaced.
When did it become a law to have an analog box?
It's not exactly a law to have a digital to analog converter box but they are needed to be able to watch television if you don't have a television with a digital receiver. Both the US and UK are going through a changeover from analog television broadcasts to digital broadcasts. In the US, major television channels had to be transmitted as a digital signal and their analog transmitters turned off in 2009. Smaller stations and community channels have more time to switch over. In the UK, all analog transmitters will be turned off by 2012. In both cases, once the analog transmitter is turned off, the only way to receive television channels is to use a digital receiver, sometimes referred to as an anlog box. The receiver changes the digital signal into a form that older analog televisions can display. The boxes mean that older televisions can still be used. All new televisions have a digital receiver built in so a separate box isn't needed.

Will there be approx. 1000 subchannels in over 100 channels for almost any of its free and-or cheap digital multicast TV boxes with antennas?
Yes, there will be approx. 1,000 sub-channels in over 100 channels, being featured on all digital multicast TV boxes that are either new or existing as being updated (including approx. 100 of which are premium movie channels from HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz, Encore, Movieplex, The Movie Channel, EPIX and FLIX, plus all of the other channels that are being transferred from the digital cable and satellite days to all of its new and newly-updated digital multicast TV boxes, joining all local broadcast TV channels from around everywhere across America); not included will be "adults-only packaging" (which is due to either pornography or whatever it's likely called), international, pay-per view channels, or any of the 200 premium sports channels. Video on-demand services from these 1,000 channels would be included on all of its new and newly-updated digital multicast TV boxes). All free and/or cheap TV boxes would have 1,000 sub-channels on approx. 100 channels everywhere worldwide, with video on-demand service and others also included. It is definitely going to happen, because of The World's Grand Revival; also, news will be reported and sources will be given very soon.
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.
