Will I need a digital converter to use my dvd or vcr on my old television?

Question

I don't watch much televison and get most of my news from the radio or internet, but I do watch dvds. I am wondering if my dvd player will still work with my analog television or if this technology change has anything to do with dvd and dvd players.

Answer 1

Your DVD player will still work. So will playback for your VCR. What might be a problem is if you record shows on your VCR for later playback.

The tuner in your VCR will be useless if you use it to tune for stations to record after the changeover date. In that case, you'll need to purchase a digital converter box to feed programming into either the Line 1 or channel 3/4 on your VCR for recording programming off the converter box.

Answer 2

your dvd will work
