How to Install DTV Digital to an Analog Converter

DirecTV digital satellite boxes allow users to receive a digital signal from a DirecTV satellite and display the signal on their digital television screen. If you have a television that only accepts analog signals, you can still connect the DirecTV digital box to the television by using a digital-to-analog converter box as an intermediary device.

Things You'll Need

• Coaxial cable (2)

Instructions

1. Connect one end of your first coaxial cable to the "VHF Out" coaxial port.

2. Connect the other end of the first coaxial cable to the "Input" coaxial port on the analog converter.

3. Connect one end of the second coaxial cable to the "Output" coaxial port on the analog converter.

4. Connect the other end of the second coaxial cable to the "Input" port on the back of your analog television.

5. Turn your television, satellite box, and analog converter on. Change your television to either Channel 3 or 4; this will vary depending on your cable signal. You will now see the signal from your satellite box on the television.
