Does this device work as a digital converter box to watch local television?

No, it is not a digital receiver. It just translates co-ax to RCA video/audio and vice versa.

I used the Dynex to convert my converter box signal to a coax cable signal in order to run it to another room. My TiVo had RCA style connections for output that connected to the input jacks on the Dynex. I then connected coax cable to the Dynex that ran to the kitchen and attached to my TV there. The aim was to have the same signal in the family room and the kitchen at the same time. I hope this helps

Sorry just getting to you. No, it's just connects a coaxial input connection to a composite or coaxial output connection.

No. This box is used to make an older television (with only one or two ports for rabbit ear antennas, vcrs, and the like) compatible with a dvd player or other newer electronic equipment that require a connection using red, yellow, white and black plug in cords.

The sole purpose of this device is to convert RCA or S-video output signals to video coaxial cable, not to convert digital to analog or vice versa (digital converter box). You can, of course run converter box signal through this device if you need to convert RCA to run inexpensive coaxial cable between rooms. The Belkin RF Modulator for about $14 on Amazon does the same thing.

The answer is no. What this box does is allow connecting a device with RCA type outputs to an older tv with only coax and twin lead inputs.

If it was for local channels only you could have skiped the converter box and connected stright into your new TV. Try this first.

This is a digital broadcast receiver and will receive HD "over air" transmissions with a digital antenna, like TV in the old days. It will not work as a cable box.

Yes, but it is an analog tuner only. It doesn't pick up digital TV signals.

It will connect to the convertor box yes, but of course not directly to your old analogue tv input

If you have a digital converter box I would say yes. Their tech support is excellent. Give them a call.

I believe this device is only designed to work with an antenna. It converts an analog signal to a digital signal.

It works only for HDTV's. It won't come with a built in converter box inside.

Yes, you can hook up a Digital converter box using HDMI or component cables. For me, it is the only way to get HDTV. There is NOT a QAM tuner in this model, so you will only get analog channels when you do the scan for channels. The term "digital" for this TV is misleading in my opinion.

Yes- but it is an analog tuner. You can receive signal from your cable/converter box or but not digital over the air.
1989423
No. This device picks up digital broadcast signals. That means the signals that the television stations transmit over the air.

yes. if you have a 'tube' tv you will need a convertor, but if you have a new digital t.v. your tv has a convertor built in to the set. with this, you will receive all local channels. with mine, i receive 53 channels, but that will depend on where you live

Yes, you can, if the tv is digital, but you don't get to much channels; at least I didn't get enough channels. With the converter box I got much more channels. Maybe the area that you live has better recession that my area.

No, it doesn't provide that kind of service. You can only record over-the-air shows from an antenna. There's a new model, but I believe it works the same way - its tuners only accept antenna inputs.

As long as the provider does not require it to watch the channels you want then no. Local SD and HD channels over the air should work fine.

Yes I would assume so since broadcasters were required to convert to digital signals a couple years ago. It is also powered by a USB connector found on most modern HDTV sets.

I do not believe so. I believe that this is just meant to convert analog to digital. What you probably need is a set of bunny ears, which my family has while we wait for our antenna to be set up. You might want to talk to a television expert about this.
