It is not possible to convert an analog television to a digital television. However, by using a digital set top receiver, it is possible to receive digital signals and deliver them as an analog signal to an analog television.
Digital receivers are not expensive, starting at around $25 in US and £20 in the UK. They will allow all terrestrial channels to be received in the same way that a digital television will.
Cable and satellite receivers can also receive digital signals and will provide an analog output that can be used with older televisions.
With these options, there is no need to replace analog televisions right away. Remember that analog only televisions will not be HD so don't expect a sudden increase in picture quality when the digital receivers are used.

∙ 14y agoYou're probably not going to be able to do much about it. Analog is analog and digital is digital. If the TV has only an analog tuner built into it, it's not going to be able to make the transition, unless of course, you can get some type of tuner adapter for it. But that kind of defeats the purpose of having a hand held TV.
You can convert it with a converter box.

∙ 12y agoThe antenna can't tell if it is receiving analog or digital. They are the same. However, some antennae are 'banded' to receive a group of channels and reject others. A high band antenna in a weak signal area may not receive the low band digital channels with sufficient strength to 'lock'.

∙ 11y agoAlmost all modern televisions still support analog RF signals. The input selection will usually be marked as "ATV" or "Analog Television".
Alternatives are to use the analog video output form the Sky receiver. Again, almost all televisions have a number of analog video inputs.
If the television only has HDMI inputs, then the final option is to use an analog to HDMI converter. They are available from video and television specialists and will deliver an HDMI signal to the television,
