I live in the country north of Kenton and about 27 miles from Lima. Our signals come through a 40-ft. tower and then into the house to a signal amplifier and then a splitter(there are two analog TV's with attached VCR's in the house). If I buy a converter box ( I have sent for the coupons), I assume the ideal location will be near the VCR to connect to. Do the converter boxes determine the digital channel number and then feed the signal to the TV on a certain channel, like it does with the analog signal (Channel 3 or 4), or is there a special setting like Input 1 or 2 needed on the TV? I am assuming that a converter box with a tuner is required, although I have seen some advertised without a tuner. Thanks for any helpful information on this subject.
You will need a converter for each analog TV.
What the converter will do is tune to a specific digital channel, (in our case channel 8), and then provide you with multiple outputs. If the output is RF on channels 3 or 4, then the analog TV and any devices connected to the converter would follow the converter.
The best way to use the converter is to receive the digital station over the air, but use the S-connector, DVI, or video/audio connectors off the converter to the TV. If you can stay away from converting to an RF signal, it will be a cleaner picture.
