If you have portable televisions installed in your car you can find them extremely helpful when traveling with smaller children. If you only watch DVD movies on them, there is no reason to adjust the TV to digital. However, if you watch antenna-based programming when you stop for rest you need to convert the TV in your vehicle to digital. This is because all television stations recently converted to only digital broadcasts.
Instructions
1. Purchase a new, portable digital television (all televisions now sold are digital) if you don't want to have lots of clutter or cables running around your car. If the cables don't bother you, then you can save some money by using a digital converter box instead of buying a new television.
2. Plug the RCA cables into the "Video In" port on the television. Make sure the colors of the cables match that of the ports.
3. Connect the other ends of the RCA cables into the "Video Out" port on the converter box. A converter box changes the digital signal to analog so your older analog television can still be used to view the programming.
4. Run the coaxial cable coming out of the antenna into the "In" port on the back of the digital converter box. You can now power on the converter box and the TV and begin watching programming again over your analog television set.
