What is the advantage of a converter box equipped with “analog pass-through”?
The analog pass-through feature allows the converter box to pass analog signals (such as those that will continue to be broadcast by translator stations in rural areas and low-power community broadcasters), as well as convert digital signals to analog. This makes it possible for you to view both analog and digital broadcast signals on the same analog TV, without disconnecting and reconnecting equipment or relying on an accessory to route the different signals. For this reason, we recommend a converter box equipped with analog pass-through for customers who watch specialty broadcasters that are exempt from the DTV transition deadline.
