The recent change to digital television broadcasts has required all households to be equipped with the technology to receive digital television via cable or satellite. For many people, this involves the use of a digital to analog TV converter, which allows older (analog) televisions to display images that are received in digital format. Here are some frequently asked questions about the use of digital to analog TV converters:

How is a digital TV broadcast different from an analog broadcast?
Digital television signals contain more information and details about the television picture that is being broadcast. This allows the picture to be higher quality, with better resolution, color, and clarity. High definition television is broadcast using a digital signal, which analog televisions can only display through the use of a digital to analog TV converter.
Why did the law requiring digital television broadcasts go into effect?
For many years, television stations were authorized to broadcast both analog and digital signals. Over time, with the expansion of high definition television markets, the cost, practicality, and need for analog signals have diminished beyond the point of being a necessary broadcast format. Additionally, limiting the broadcast spectrum to digital signals frees up more analog signals for use by fire, police, and other emergency services that use broadcast signals to communicate.

What equipment do I need to see digital TV on my older television set?
After June 12, 2009, all television signals are broadcast in digital format, which requires the use of one of the following: a digital television tuner, an over-the-air antenna tuner, or a digital to analog TV converter. Older television sets will display the digital signal through digital to analog TV converters or boxes connected to the TV, though the full quality of the digital signal cannot be displayed on an analog television.
Digital to analog TV converters are often available through local cable and satellite television service providers, as well as at local hardware and electronic stores.
