I agree that converters would essentially be the heart and guts of a digital
radio, but what about all of those people with working collectible antique
radios from the the 20's - 50's? Surely they would still want a way to use
them. I would.

Looking around, the only thing in the house that is Sony at the moment is
my bedside radio. Over 25 years old and still going strong - as it

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?

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.
