digital tv signals?

Question

is there a cheap digital signal adapter that you can split the signals to go to more than one old analog tv?

Answer 1

If you want to watch the same program on all the TVs it pretty simple to put a standard TV antenna splitter on the RF output. You could also hook another TV up the the converter's composite outputs.

If you want to watch different programs on the TVs you will need a converter for each TV. The cheap converters only tune in and convert one channel at a time.

What kind of signal are you getting? Antenna, cable, satellite? They require different converters.

Answer 2

You're absolutely correct in that getting a digital TV means you won't need a converter box. Despite what a lot of people believe, there is no such thing as a digital or analog antenna. An antenna is simply the tuned piece of metal to help pick up the frequencies of the stations better. This means that whether you get digital or analog is all based on the type of tuner you have. A digital converter box is basically a digital tuner so your old analog TV that has an analog tuner can now pick up the digital channels because the digital tuner can read those frequencies. If you have a new digital TV than simply plug the antenna into the back of your TV that says 'air'. The one that says 'cable' means you're hooked up to some sort of a cable system such as direct TV or comcast. So just hook your TV up to the antenna and run an 'autoscan' and it should pick up any digital channels in your area.
