Digital TV Broadcast to Analog Broadcast Converter
An interesting technology we saw displayed at LG's booth was the DTV converter box. This device will convert the digital TV broadcasts to analog. LG's Vestigial Side Band (VSG) technology includes the ability to both receive ATSC broadcasts and convert them to analog NTSC signals.
LG's set top box was small and sleek. The demo showed an ATSC broadcast being split and sent to two different displays; one LCD television via composite video and one older analog set via an RF adapter. The analog quality was inferior to the digital, as expected, but still quite viewable.
We are quite pleased to see this technology already in action. With the analog TV spectrum set to be terminated by mid-2009, this will hopefully bring some peace of mind to those still holding on to their older analog sets.
