I noted, with some horror, that with the converter box connected to our TV, that it would not "pass-through" the signal from our DVD player! Horror of horrors, I will need a switchbox of some kind! Is this progress?
Are you telling us that your TV doesn't have a "baseband" video input and you use a modulator to connect the DVD? Or that your TV has exactly one video input and you need to switch between the converter and the DVD? I've never seen a converter box but I'm willing to bet it has a "channel 3" RF output to be compatible with ALL old TVs. If you are using RF to connect the DVD then you don't mind much reduced quality. Tune it to a different channel and use your TV remote to switch. But I have not seen a TV with no video inputs made in the last 20 years. -Alex.
