If you have no signal coming into a digital converter box, you either have no service or you have a broken connection between the service provider and the box.
If you have no signal coming out of a digital converter box, you either have no service, or you have a broken box, or you have some kind of short on the output.
If you have no service, then you need to contact the service provider. If the box or the circuitry is bad, you need to fix it, or you need to contact the service provider.
Any other meaning to this question constitutes a request to know how to defeat the security of a digital converter box. That is an illegal activity, and WiKi Answers does not provide answers for those type of questions.

What is the difference between analog and digital data transmission?
This is essentially the same question as the difference between analog and digital. With analog electronics a voltage is used to represent (or to be an analogy for) some physical attribute in the real world. So for an analog transmission, at its simplest, a sound signal (say) is converted to a voltage, the voltage sent down a cable, then at the other end the voltage converted back into sound with a loudspeaker. With a digital system, the physicial attribute is measured and sent as a series of numbers, the numbers being converted to binary. For a digital transmission, the sound signal is converted to a series of numbers, sent as binary, and converted back to a sound signal at the other end. The advantages of digital is that it makes multiplexing much easier - making it easier to put many signals down the same physical cable. It also makes compressing the signal much easier - this is particularly effective for digital television transmission; 30-40 digital channels can be sent over the same bandwidth as 4 or 5 uncompressed analog channels. Also, digital is much more resiliant against noise - the digital receiver has to make a decision about each bit - is it there or not; noise can be pretty extreme before this becomes impossible, with analog, once noise is added its very difficult to remove it. The historical disadvantage of digital is that digital encoding and decoding equipment was expensive compared with the analog. Over the last 10 years or so, digital electronics has become much cheaper and more powerful.
What is the importance of convolution in system characterization?
Convolution is used in DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING to predict the output of the system with only a few limited number of samples of the input signal and a few limited number of samples of the impulse response of the system. i.e. if we can state that if you know the impulse response of a system then you can predict the behavior of the system for any signal provided it as an input. It also helps to show that the system is stable or not i.e. we say that a system is stable if its impulse response is absolutely summable or square summable (both are sufficient conditions but not necessary conditions).
What are the Advantages of digital transmission over analog?
Hi,1) Digital signals do not get corrupted by noise etc. You are sending a series of numbers that represent the signal of interest (i.e. audio, video etc.)2) Digital signals typically use less bandwidth. This is just another way to say you can cram more information (audio, video) into the same space.3) Digital can be encrypted so that only the intended receiver can decode it (like pay per view video, secure telephone etc.)There are others, but this is three of the biggies.Hi!Following are the Advantages of Digital Transmission over analog transmission.1. The signal is exact. For example, Digital formats like PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) can hold the exact digital format of sounds.2. Digital signals can checked for errors. Generally, all digital transmission methods use 'head labels' to provide better checking facilities. Head label may contain how many packets may need to complete the transmission, what is the sequence number of each packet of data, acknowledgment labels etc.3. A variety of services can afford over one line. For example, IpTV connection can used to watch cable TV channels while browsing the Internet through a PC using same line. This line can also used to make a phone call at the same time.4. Digital data can be compressed and therefore possible to pass over higher bandwidths. Any digital data; data, image, video, voice can be compressed.5. More secure. Digital data can be encrypt using an encryption method. Only the dedicated receiver can decode the message.6. Supports data integrity. Simple to integrate voice, video and data. Digital transmission provides easier way to integrate different digital formats.7. Digital transmission provides higher maximum transmission rates via medium such as optical fibers. Typically, digital transmissions use less bandwidth.Hope this will help you!(H.W Thushara Indika from Bandarawela - Sri Lanka)
Why is it necessary to modulate the picture and sound signals before transmission?
To avoiding the noise signal effect.Because the modulation is a technic which providing a high characteristic to transmitting the signal on long or short distance.Because the modulated signal received as high bandwidth,high performance of received signal and the modulation Technic is provide a less hight of antenna in wireless transmission which is expressed in the term :(hight of antenna=λ/4).
Is low bandwidth signal has more power than high bandwidth signal?
no,because generally the lower frequency side existed for lower bandwidth,and higher frequency side existed higher bandwidth,so thus we can say that lower bandwidth has generally has lower power as compared to higher bandwidth.
