How do I hook-up a Digital to Analog TV Converter?

[coketherealthing]

I going to buy one because I can't afford to keep paying Garbage.Nothing but marothons of the same show every time I turn to a station. I'm going to save my money for groceries for the kids and keep them from watching that stupid music channel that doesn't even play music anymore, but still call themselves Music Television. Down with paying for TV, it's just not worth it. Satellite or Cable, let somebody else pay for it.I'm not a sucker anymore.

[balmedout1]

what the heck am I to do when it just keeps saying no signal, I called the # on the box and the voices were so faint I could barely understand them and it was press 1 press 2 and on and on and on. No help at all. I am still getting channels but the reception is unpredictable. Wonder why some stations are still analog. This is in Canada.

[t0xictreasure]

had to pay $55 for that little shit..

[geekforlifevandc]

how hard is this its the same way like you do with vcr dvd playstation nes xbox other shit cable boxes sattelite reicevirs so whata fuck ???

[candystore]

IT'S SO SIMPLE, A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT!

[wilkes85]

how to hook it up?

THE SAME FUCKING WAY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOOKING UP VCRs SINCE THE 1970s FOR FUCK SAKES!

ARE YOU PEOPLE MORONS?!

[TashkentFox]

It seems American digital boxes are superior to their British counterparts, those sold over here don't have built in UHF Modulators, which means you have to buy an additional box (The cheapest of which is £30) to use a normal TV set.

[rudyintwincityboxing]

so what about the yellow white and red things on the box can you hook those to the tv and still watch or you need a an anntena???

[wheelfan100]

@rudyintwincityboxing that's the real DTV cables some boxes have s-video which is the best of all and the way he connect it will give an analog signal.

[sonic33blaster]

shut up

there are many more that have analog

u know nothing gradeschooler

[pikhienko]

I find it funny that they always use old eople to show how to hook the boxes up...Why not just buy cable? O.O I have DirectTV and its great ^^

[rwsmith29456]

Maybe it's because older people will probably have the most trouble hooking up their boxes. And maybe I don't want cable or buy a new TV because mine is perfectly good and it would cost $400 plus to replace mine.

[wilkes85]

if they've owned a VCR in their lives, they'll allready know how to hook up a cocksucking converter box

[ladyvee7110]

Maybe because people do not feel they should have to pay every month just to watch TV.

[2degucitas]

Exactly. TV has ALWAYS been free due to advertising. It should stay that way except for premium channels.

[maypema]

Why would you look at a human being and see their age? This type of discrimination is no different than looking at gender, race, etc.

[wilkes85]

oh cry me a river you fucking liberal PC son of a bitch!

[wilkes85]

AND I FIND IT FUCKING FUNNY how people still don't know how to hook these things up. You hook them up exactly like a VCR! and VCRs have been around on the home market since 1976. If anyone still doesn't know how to hook the fuckers up, then ditch the bastards. Let them enjoy their fucking snow.

[pikhienko]

Your FUCKING HILARIOUS!!! xDDDDD

[johneymute]

why should they use a antenna cable for their annalogue tv if they could use composite ?

it,s nt to special digital tv cuzz, 1 you will not notice much difference(even if you could use component) 2 it,s still standard difinition,3 even hich definition is allready in use for 10 years in the usa.

just standardize hd world wide and say goodbay to even sd digital tv.

cuzz this is not something new!!!!!!!!!!

[RockeyJesse20]

Time is ticking and 2009 is almost here! Get a converter box or else you lose signle

[VideoSuperMaster]

Or you could stop being such a cheap fuck and pay for the cable.

[chitowndude13]

Does the same instructions on the RCA DTV converter apply for the Energy Star DTV converter?

[dolla130shine]

I seen many models of RCA. I only seen 1 RCA model that is applied for energy star. Just check at the following stores for any converter box applied for energy star;

1) Wal-Mart

2) Best-Buy

3) Radio Shack

there is many other places that accept the coupons...

[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

and one of the great benifits the digital converter is no more repty hollogram nipple slips!

fuck the nwo and their bullshit!

[nobssagittarius3]

This is not compatable with black and white tv's used for boating and camping.

[Thegamer5150]

I wonder who still uses black and white anyway

[VideoSuperMaster]

People who collect antiques.

[Thegamer5150]

Get on of those portable DVD players that have a composite inputs and use the converter box with the antenna and plug the converter box into the DVD player via composite

[gccengineering1996]

The Truth about converters at stores, I have saved my converter box coupon. At July 1st I went to my local Radio Shack, and they said that they keep on running out and now my coupon has just expired and cannot get another coupon and still don't have a converter box. I am just going to buy a new TV soon with cause most of mine are analog CRT type.

[GamingPalooza]

Could u hook up ur cable TV line into these boxes and use it as a cable box?

[98770]

they can be only used to recieve over the air tv. the converter cannot be used to substitute a cable box they are designed so that you cannot use it with your cable tv you will have to obtain a set top box from your cable provider

[yungstunna559]

no u cant

[rep0eagle]

all those old pocket tv's you have will pretty much be useless unless you wanna walk around holding a converter box. which is impossible because they need to be plugged in.

Get a pocket tv with a Digital tuner and problem solved.

[electro5]

PS. I have cable TV

[electro5]

Soo.If i have an analog/portable TV i can watch my shows i the portable tv also ?

[HarvBand]

You can use the portable (battery powered) TV's - only if you buy a plug-in converter, so don't plan on using it to watch the game while camping or on a car trip because they don't plan on making battery powered converters.You'd need to get one of those 12v dc/ac converters as well. (100 dollars later...)

[98770]

of couse not basically a antenna and that is

[DaColt88]

either way you can use video games, dvds, or vhs

[pakoroks]

yes cus u plug those in the colr thingys not were the antenna should b

[pokerguy94]

so if u buy a converter box you dont need a subscription to iO or DirecTV or anything?

[98770]

new universal remotes should be compatible with the converter boxes

[eyeh8cbs]

Well, I have a digital tuner, but I still can't enjoy my favorite TV programs!

That DVD/VCR deck shown here has a digital tuner too. Too bad the RCA brand has pretty much gone the way of good TV!

[skyanchor]

In many cases you won't need your old remote at all"

What about those other cases? What about the people with disabilities who need to use extra-large button universal remotes as they have now? Will any of those work with the DTA800?
