What is a DTV Converter Box?
A digital TV converter box is a small box that is about the size of an average hardback book. This box hooks into the back of your television and is very easy to use. The purpose of the DTV converter box is to converter digital television signals so that they are compatible with your old analog television. Most TVs that were made before 2004 are not equipped with a digital tuner and therefore cannot pick up digital television signals. Digital television signals provide viewers with a better picture and better sound quality. A converter box is a great idea if you want to get digital quality television since it can be purchased for under $60 as opposed to purchasing a new digital TV.
