To watch analog LPTV and translator station broadcasts received through an antenna, you can take one or more of the following actions:

• Keep an analog TV connected to a broadcast antenna to view analog LPTV and translator station broadcasts.

• Purchase a digital-to-analog converter box that has analog pass-through capability. For a current list of digital-to-analog converter boxes that have been certified by NTIA as eligible for the TV Converter Box Coupon Program, click on https://www.ntiadtv.gov/cecb_list.cfm and look for the boxes with the asterisk (*) next to them. Analog pass-through allows you to watch analog television broadcasts as well as digital television broadcasts through the converter box.

• Purchase a digital-to-analog converter box without analog pass-through capability, and then connect a "splitter" or antenna switch to receive both analog and digital broadcasts. Check with your consumer electronics retailer if you need instructions on how to connect the box to view broadcasts from both analog and digital stations.

• Purchase a digital television set. A television with a built-in digital tuner can receive both analog and digital stations, so you will be able to watch both digital programming and analog LPTV and translator station programming for as long as these stations continue to broadcast in analog.

• Subscribe to a cable television or other pay service that carries the analog station(s) you want to watch.
