Go to this site ( ) for a list of steps you can take. My question is this: Will these rectifiers function the same as the mandated converter boxes we are being forced to use, or will I have to add yet another piece of hardware to the ever-growing pile of detritus behind my TV?Ī: No. Q: Both of my television sets are older, and subsequently I had to purchase and install digital rectifiers when I bought a DVD player. This, by the way, may resolve any mismatch problem you have between the converter box gazontas and the TV gazontas. Then run a cable between TV output of the converter box and TV input of the VCR. In this setup, you will unplug the TV input on the VCR and hook it to the TV input of the converter box. If you've got your VCR set up to record live television, then it might be the same cable.
The DTV conversion affects the cable connecting your antenna to your TV, not the cable from the VCR/DVD to your TV. If you can watch 'em now, you'll be able to watch 'em after.
If your TV doesn't have any "gazontas" in the back, then I'm sorry, but you will need to repurpose your old TV as an aquarium or boat anchor or uber-paperweight.Ī: No, you do not need the converter box to watch VCR movies or DVD movies.
It might look like three small connectors, red, white and yellow (composite connector). It might look like a metal post, about the size of the eraser on a large, elementary-school pencil, with threads (coaxial or RF connector). It might look like two large-headed screws, fairly close to each other (spade lugs). ANT.," "AUX.ANT.," "Video 1" or some such. If your rabbit ears are built-in, you need to turn the set around, look at the back, and see if there's some sort of connector that an external antenna "gazonta" (that is, connects to). The problem is in snatching that new digital signal - which will be mostly UHF - out of the air, converting it to analog (the job of the converter box), and feeding it to the back of your television in such a way that analog signal "gazinta" your analog television.
