Do crystal radio sets still work now that everything has gone digital?

Yes because only television signals from some stations have gone digital. Crystal radios will pick up stations broadcasting on the A.M. broadcast band (540k to 1600K).
These signals are amplitude modulated and crystal radios pick these up really well. You could also use them for Shortwave and pick up some stations.
Am, FM and shortwave are still not digital.

You h ave radio which receives television channels and therefore listen to some television programs over the radio will you still be able to receive television through your old radio after the digital?
No I am afraid not. The radio you have was built for reception of analog television audio. Once all the broadcasters switch their mode of transmission from analog to digital, all their signals going out over the air will be in a digital format.

What is digital radio?
Digital Radio is the coined name for the "New" generation of Radio broadcast; however, it should be noted that the technology has existed for years prior to its intial popularity with the inception of such well-known Satellite radio companies such as Sirius or XM.Note: Digital Radio does not have to originate from a satellite.Digital Radio has significant upgrades from the "Old" generation of Radio that used propogated terrestiral radio signals to trasmit a message called Analog Radio.These upgrades include primarily better sound quality.Unlike it's predecessor a more complicated computer is required to decode these digital signals and convert them into Audio; however, because of this Digital signals can hold more data than the old Analog Signals, allowing for more information such as Song Name date, and legtnh, to be processed simultaneously with the signal.Note: One drawback of digital radio is that if the signal becomes corrupted or blocked by too many barriers like thick concrete the signal will simply be cut out, unlike in analogue radio where you would still hear part of the broadcast with more static noise and distortion.
Why is radio better than tv?
One advantage of Radio over Television in this day and age is accessibility. Television broadcast has been limited to digital signals with a more limited broadcast range. Radio is still analog with a much larger, generally, broadcast range. Radio also tends to be less distracting to drivers...

Will radio channels be affected by the new digtal tv change?
No, although they're already undergoing a change of their own with digital. It's called High Definition radio. There's also another digital component that sends the information to the receiver regarding the songs being played, etc. The digital age is overtaking everything, including all aspects of broadcast in one form or another. There's benefits as well as drawbacks and it'll still be a few years before everything sots itself out. What the future has in store, remains to be seen.

What does the digital revolution consist in?
The term "digital revolution" has been coined by the media but the reality is more of a progression than a revolution. For almost three decades, content has become available in digital formats, starting with the CD in the early eighties. A few digital television broadcasts were introduced some years later, followed by DVDs, the video equivalent of the CD. Television broadcasts have moved to digital only in several countries but analog is still in wide use around the world. Add the rise in the use of computers for obtaining and viewing audio and video content and that covers most of the move towards digital media. The "revolution" has been driven by the availability of electronics and computing technology that has allowed us to benefit from the convenience of digital storage, transmission and reception. There is still a way to go before the move to digital is complete. Some countries are behind others and analog television will remain for some years to come. Radio remains largely analog despite the presence of Sirius satellite radio and DAB terrestrial radio. Both demonstrate that radio can be delivered as a digital service but many listeners are still sticking to the analog FM platforms that have been with us for many years. The benefits of digital radio are not great and the reluctance of the listening public to embrace digital radio shows that we look for clear benefits before signing up to the next step towards the digital age - hardly the stuff of a revolution.

Why we need to save radio channels?
Though radio seems an ancient technology by today's standards, radio frequencies (e.g. "channels") remain one of the most stable forms of nationwide communication. During an emergency, television digital channels may fail, but analog radio will still broadcast.
Will an LCD television get a decent reception with an indoor aerial?
It depends in what area you're in, where there's a good reception, you'll get clear crystal image, but if the signal is poor, you'll still get some image which would be sort of crap. By the way, you can use a digital receiver which is really cheap and as all signals are digital, the image would be crystal clear even in the inside =)
