What is the analog pass-through feature on some converter boxes and do I need it?
If you also receive over-the-air TV signals from a low-power TV station that does not have to make the digital transition, in addition to full-power TV stations that will be switching to all digital, you will want to consider getting a converter box with analog pass-through. This allows the analog signal of low power TV stations to pass through to your TV. If the converter box doesnt have an analog pass-through feature, you may have to physically disconnect the box every time you change from a digital channel to an analog channel. For RV owners, a converter box with an analog pass-through is a great choice while traveling. It will allow you to receive TV signals from various TV stations whether they are transmitting in analog or digital.
