Installation Process of Digital Converter Box

Wondering how to install a digital converter box? It's actually very simple, and the digital to analog converter will do a lot of the work for you.

Connecting the Box:

There are two coaxial cable ports on the backside of a digital converter box. There may also be RCA connectors for video and audio. To fix the box to your TV, you simply unplug the antenna from your TV, plug it into the converter box "Antenna In" port and run a coaxial cable from the "Out to TV" port to your television's "Antenna In" port.

Alternatively, you can plug the antenna into the "Antenna In" on the box and use RCA cables to send video and audio to your TV. Video is usually a single cable with yellow connectors on either end. Audio is a pair of red and white cables that must be connected red to red and white to white, or you won't get any sound. If you have a mono TV, you only need a single RCA cable to connect it, and the correct port should be labeled on the converter box.

Change to Digital TV signals has ample of benefits

Digital broadcasting represents a more proficient use of the spectrum, analysts said. It takes fewer airwaves to transmit a digital signal than it does an analog one, which means companies can use the domesticated airwaves to enhance communication.

"It frees up the airwaves for wireless broadband and other innovation, which is really the prevalent benefit."

By winning back television channels 52 to 69, the government gets valuable airwaves that can carry lots of information across long distances and easily penetrate bad weather and barriers such as houses and trees.

These airwaves will allow for more facility in wireless broadband and cellphone coverage, and telecom companies such as AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless, which purchased large chunks of spectrum, are relying on them to roll out high-speed cellular networks.
