Definitely remove satellite from that discussion! Satellite has always been pure
digital, and no change is needed. Only over-the-air is affected.

I have a digital HD TV installed in Blue Thunder, but it is three years old and
does not incorporate a digital tuner. For the most part we use satellite (HD),
but we like to be able to get locals for weather, etc. I installed a converter
that has pass-through for current analog.

I installed black wire screen on the cabinet door that holds all of the TV gear.
Did it for ventilation, but it also passes the IR to operate the converter.
