This Fact Sheet describes the
installation of a digital-to-analog converter box with your
current antenna and analog TV. This guide will help you
prepare so that when you purchase a converter box you will
know what to expect and whether you may need help setting it
up.
Supplies: You will need your
analog TV, the antenna you have been using (indoor or
outdoor), and the coaxial wire that currently connects your
antenna to your TV (as pictured on the right). Your new
converter box will come with a coaxial wire and a remote
control. Before you begin the installation of the converter
box, you should unplug your TV.

If your Converter Box includes an
"analog pass-through" feature, this set up will also
allow you to receive any stations that still broadcast in analog
in your area. Follow the instructions that come with your
Converter Box for how to tune analog channels.

converter box if it does not include an analog pass-through
feature or for instructions on connecting your converter box to
