Converter Box Reviews,
Ratings, and Comparisons
From the Federal Communications Commission:
If you purchase a digital-to-analog converter box to watch digital broadcasts on an analog
TV and also wish to continue watching analog LPTV, Class A, or TV translator stations, you
should purchase a converter box with "analog pass-through" capability, which
allows analog broadcast signals to pass through the converter box to be tuned by your
analog TV. NTIA's TV Converter Box Coupon Program has certified converter box models that
have analog pass-through capability. A current list of coupon-eligible converter boxes is
available at https://www.ntiadtv.gov/cecb_list.cfm. The converter box models that have
analog pass-through capability are noted on the list with an asterisk next to them. In
addition, NTIA will mail a list of current coupon-eligible converter boxes, noting with an
asterisk those that have analog pass-through capability, to each household that receives
converter box coupons. You can also check with your retailer to determine whether the
converter box you are purchasing has analog pass-through capability.
If you purchase a digital-to-analog converter box without analog pass-through capability,
you may have to connect an “A/B switch” and/or a “signal splitter" to
bypass the box if you wish to view analog TV broadcasts. Check with the manufacturer of
the digital-to-analog converter box and your retailer if you need instructions on how to
connect the box to view broadcasts from both analog and digital stations.
