Hi Perhaps someone can explain this to me in very simple terms. Since satellite signals are digital. Since The satellite receiver receives the digital signal and turns it into analog signals which can be used by the analog television. Why do you need a converter for the analog televisions when the switch is made from analog to digital signals. Thank you for your help.

But ours has worked flawlessly. We have had it for more than two months. It has both a digital and analog tuner. Also, it can be used as a computer monitor and has all sorts of input and output connectors. We are delighted with it.

I called and spoke to someone at RadioShack, but he said he didn't know. I don't really want to buy another TV set either. But if I have to, I will. But I wish that I could get a 19 inch HD LCD TV cheaper then $500.
