Digital Off-Air Reception (8VSB) - Analog Viewing
| Source | Distribution Network | Viewing Location |
| Digital
Off-Air (8VSB) |
Coax/HFC/Ethernet | Analog TV - Conversion at the TV |
| Explanation: | |
| This system will allow you to receive the local, digital off-air (8VSB) broadcast programming that is available in the market and convert it to analog at the television. (See Scenario 2 for conversion to analog at the headend) | |
| Application: | |
| All of the televisions in the home have analog tuners and cannot receive the digital channel directly. | |

Component Block Diagram - Details
Antennas are selected based on the frequency/channel that is to be received, not the content. All off-air/broadcast antennas will receive both analog and digital signals; however, receiving the new digital off-air (8VSB) channel may require a new antenna because of the new channel frequency assignment of the digital channel.
The necessity for a pre-amplifier cannot be determined until a site survey is performed. If required, the pre-amplifier is mounted outside on the antenna mast, and requires a separate power supply that is mounted in the building. The appropriate power supply for the pre-amplifier being used must be specified separately.
Functionality
This system will allow you to receive the local, digital off-air (8VSB) broadcast programming that is available in the market and convert it to analog at the television. This application assumes that all of the televisions in the home have analog tuners an therefore cannot receive the digital channel directly.
