1. Do I need a digital-to-analog converter box?
A digital-to-analog converter box is a device that plugs into your analog TV and converts digital
broadcast signals to analog signals so you can watch them on your analog TV. You will only
need a digital-to-analog converter box to watch digital broadcast programming on an analog TV
that is attached to a broadcast antenna
(either “rabbit ears” on your set or an antenna on your
roof). You do not need a digital-to-analog converter box if your TV is connected to a paid
provider such as cable or satellite TV. If you have satellite TV, make sure you get your local
channels through your dish. If not, you may need a digital-to-analog converter box. Check with
your satellite provider if you are unsure. Also, you will not need a digital-to-analog converter
box if you have a digital television (a TV with a built-in digital tuner). Back to index
