Will you get the same channels in digital that you get analog?
Not necessarily, many stations have changed frequencies (channels) and transmitter location for HD transmission. Don't forget to rescan the TV every few months.
We have been using analog FM am tv radio broadcasting at work to listen to diff stations channels 2 to 13 now can not tune to tv stations just music?
Didn't you hear about the change to digital tv? Old analog tv's will not tune the new digital TV stations.
If you have a digital tv and an outdoor antennae do you need a converter box?
In the US the answer is probably not. Digital and analog TV broadcasts use the same frequencies and antennas. Digital TV is more fussy about signal quality than the older analog signals. So if you get marginal analog reception, figure on getting a new antenna for digital. The idea that there are special HDTV antennas is just marketing hype. Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.
With digital adapter only get some stations why?
DTV sometime needs a better antenna than the old analog TVs. A few stations did not switch to DTV and are still Analog like LPTV which is Low Power TV.
How are digital images transmitted?
Digital images are transmitted on computer networks by first compressing them to reduce their size. JPEGs are an example of compressed image files.
Will your digital television that's receiving an analog signal from comcast be a clear picture digital signal when you go digital in 2009?
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.
What is analog TV?
Analog television was first used in the 1930s. Analog signals are sent by varying voltage, radio frequencies, and static images.
Do you have to have a digital converter box?
No, you should not need a digital converter box anymore (unless you are still using an old analog television). Most digital televisions sold are capable of receiving both digital signals and the few remaining analog signals (permitted for very low power stations only at this time).
What is the history of digital television?
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.
If some stations are digital and some aren't am I going to still be able to get all the channels?
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.
When you set the tv to get stations fron an analog receiver all you get is snow on the tv why?
As of June of 2008, Congress passed approval for the digital tv transition. The purpose of this was to free analog signals currently used for television stations for emergency vehicles, like police and ambulances to be able to communicate more effectively and efficiently during an emergency. You can still view television shows by doing one of the following: 1. Purchase a digital television (either standard or high definition SDTV or HDTV) and connect your antenna to that. 2. Purchase a digital to analog converter box and connect that to your analog tv and antenna. 3. Get cable or satellite service.
How can you convert the digital to analog or analog to digital?
Buy a new digital ready tv, get a digital receiver Sky or Freeview for your analogue tv
