converting an FM receiver itself would require so much electronics you may as well buy a DAB.
The only viable alternative as I see it is a small DAB radio that instead of pumping out sound transmits FM radio signals, much like the MP3 - Radio converters for cars.
Pure have one on the market called the "Highway" and is specifically for use in UK cars. I guess its viable to use it at home too. Only problem being that you'll need one for every radio in the house.
Yes just tap the discriminator output

The advantages of digital radio over analog radio are digital radios get more channels than analog, they are clearer in sound and signal and have more additional features.
The radio has gone through many changes including a switch from analog to digital. The first digital radio was invented in the late 1960s.
No I am afraid not. The radio you have was built for reception of analog television audio. Once all the broadcasters switch their mode of transmission from analog to digital, all their signals going out over the air will be in a digital format.
Hi, Not really. TV and radio are completely two different animals. Radio will soon go digital and I think that'll probably be the next wave of new consumerism. Hope this helps, Cubby
"HDTV" is high definition TV, so naturally, it's easy to understand that "HD" radio is high definition radio. Except that it's not. "HD" radio originally stood for "Hybrid Digital" radio. Now it's the trademark for iBiquity's in-band on-channel (IBOC) digital radio technology used by AM and FM radio stations to transmit audio and data via a digital signal in conjunction with their analog signals. According to iBiquity's website, the "HD" is simply a brand name and has no meaning. There is no connection with HDTV, although like HDTV, the HD Radio specification provides enhanced capabilities over the old analog format, such as 5.1 surround sound.

AM and FM radio are analog
No, a television converter box will not work on a police radio scanner. There is currently no way to make this conversion. One cost-effective method of listening to digital police, fire and other communications without purchasing a digital police scanner is through the download and installation of a free smartphone application which receives digital transmissions. There are many available for both Android and iPhone.
The first digital police scanner was invented in the 1970's. Unlike earlier analog version (which were basically AM Radios, as police just used to broadcast using regular radio waves), this scanner was the first to allow you to punch in a frequency to search for the police frequency.
Analog and digital signals can both be transmitted wirelessly. Wireless internet (Wi-Fi), for instance, uses digital. AM and FM Radio uses analog. Cell phones are digital. Cordless phones can be digital or analog.
Radio "signals" are always analog, not digital. To send a digital signal, it must be converted to analog format, and then the received signal has to be re-converted to digital. So the Voyager and Viking space probes, for example, include a digital-to-analog converter attached to the radio transmitter, and the radio receivers here on Earth are routed through an analog-to-digital converter to make sense of them. You yourself may have such an "analog-to-digital" converter; they are called "modems", or "modulator/demodulator".
Analog radio was broadcast from a studio out to listeners for a certain distance. Digital Radio is similar in what is broadcast but the quality of signal is better with Digital then analog. Podcasting is done over the Internet and is a rebroadcast of radio

XM or SIRIUS
A person who has grown up using analog radio, analog TV, and walkman. Opposite of digital native who has grown up using computers, internet, and MP3.

Unlike TV, there was no analog turn-off when radio stations added HD service. In the vast majority, their original analog service continues to work just fine.
