I get a perfect picture on TV using an antenna. Can not get digital signal to come thru when using either a converter box or a new digital TV. I have following all the instructions carefully and can get no signal for digital. The antenna is new and hooked up correctly. Get perfect analog pictures. Why can't I get a digital picture?
DTV signals are for the most part weaker than the old analog signals. Your new antenna needs to be a high gain VHF/UHF type with a built in or add on amplifier at the antenna. Don't forget to use new coax cable between the antenna amp and the TV set. Be sure the antenna is pointed directly at the transmitters, many have been moved. Sometime a rotor is a great help if the transmitters are in different direction's. If you using splitters, etc, they might need to be replaced with ones that will pass UHF (900 MHz) signals.
You can install a HD antenna in a number of ways. There are some great indoor antennas now available, which would be simply just pluging in the cable and pointing towards the broadcasting antennas. You can also get an outdoor antenna by screwing it on outside and pointing in the correct direction.

What is the term for a device that converts digital data from a computer into analog signals and back again?
The devices are known very simply as analog to digital converters and digital to analog converters. They are frequently shorted to A-D and D-A converters. A complete analog to digital converter will not only convert the analog signal into a set of numbers, it will also format the digital data ready to deliver to the next step in the signal chain. In television, this means generating a fairly complex stream of data that will carry not only the picture but audio and other data as well. Digital to analog converters reverse the process and use the incoming data to generate an analog signal. In television, well know examples are the digital set top boxes. They receive digital data from an antenna and convert the numbers into analog audio and video signals.

If you have a digital tv and an outdoor antennae do you need a converter box?
In the US the answer is probably not. Digital and analog TV broadcasts use the same frequencies and antennas. Digital TV is more fussy about signal quality than the older analog signals. So if you get marginal analog reception, figure on getting a new antenna for digital. The idea that there are special HDTV antennas is just marketing hype. Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.
