Well, a RF *demodulator* takes analog RF and converts it to analog A/V. A
A-D converter will convert that to digital.

Can I convert the analog back to digital for the digital tvs?


A A-D converter will do the trick. $$ for video.

Question: For the digital TVs, why not just use the original digital
signal?


I don't know. I guess I can. I didnt' think of it. Thanks.

I guess I would have to use a couple spitters to make a route around
the RF modulator, and then I would be running analog and digital on
the same co-ax, right?
