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 far right. If you do not already have them, you will also need to purchase a third coaxial wire and a 2-way splitter. Before you begin you should unplug your TV.
Switch your TV to the correct channel. Most digital converter boxes will scan for digital channels when you switch to channel 3 or channel 4; if this doesn't work for you, you'll need to consult your digital converter box's manual in order to see which channel you're supposed to use.
Complete the on-screen setup if necessary. If your digital converter box came with a remote, you'll need to put batteries in the remote, press the power button on the remote to turn on the box, and then use the remote's arrows to navigate through the digital converter box's on-screen setup.
Usually, you'll just have to select Next on-screen a few times until the digital converter box begins scanning for channels. Check your digital converter box's manual if you're having trouble navigating through the setup process. Allow your digital converter box to scan for channels.
Your digital converter box will scan for available digital channels in range; after the scan is complete, you'll be able to browse through these channels as you please. The digital converter boxes were created to allow people to keep their non-digital TVs but receive the new digital TV signals. They are fairly simple to connect, and if you like old school things, you can still use a VCR you must have two converter boxes if you like to watch one show and record another.
Yes No. Not Helpful 2 Helpful It depends on the exact kind of converter box and the release date. Not Helpful 4 Helpful I have a satellite dish receiver on my roof, but it is dead as I withdrew my subscription due to too many commercials. Can I attach an outdoor HD antenna to it, since stations in either direction are over miles away from my home in the mountains? Will I get any reception? You can try. It might work, but make sure they are strong and have a shelter for the rain.
Not Helpful 1 Helpful 8. No, they are tuned to very specific frequencies. Consult O'Reilly's wireless hacks. Not Helpful 4 Helpful 8. If it doesn't, then you would need an RCA input converter. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 1. A smart T. You will, however, need an antenna. Not Helpful 5 Helpful 6. Can I use a universal remote if I don't have the remote that came with the converter box?
Ryan Paul. Yes, you can. Most universal remotes work with pretty much anything that can be connected to your TV. The second set will be labeled something like V2 or Video 2, component 2 and so on.
This is important to know because the TV remote control lets you switch conveniently between Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, etc. HDMI provides both the audio and video connection on a single cable. Depending on the type of video cable that was used, you may need to use an additional audio cable to complete the cable box setup. Choose the option below Stereo or Digital that best fits your equipment. Plug the HDTV into a power source.
