I agree that converters would essentially be the heart and guts of a

still want a way to use them. I would.

Ahem. Like all those people with 620 film cameras, you mean? Or 120?
Or 35mm?
All those weirdos can meet in a field outside Ulan Bator and send
signals to each other as they photograph things. Specialised no-leak
processing facilities and a giant Faraday cage to prevent contamination
with the normal world.

Looking around, the only thing in the house that is Sony at the

that piece will die when the UK drops analogue broadcasting, some
time in the next five years.

But surely there will be set top boxes or auxiliary anntennas with
built in digital-to-analog signal converters... no?
Tom C.
There already are for TVs but I haven't seen them for radios. Digital
radios are already selling well, here. Converters would, effectively,
be most of a digital radio and not cost-effective, so I think they
will not be put into production.
