How to Test Your TV to See If it Will Work With Digital Cable
All televisions are able to receive programming from a digital cable receiver, including analog-based sets. The digital cable receiver works just like a digital converter box and adjusts the signal so an older television system is able to view the programming (digital converter boxes are only for analog-based sets using an antenna). If you are curious whether your TV is able to receive the programming, perform a single hookup to see if the TV picks up the audio and video signal. You shouldn't have any problems performing this test.
