DTV Converter Box

[ultimatebob]

I got one of those $40 gift cards in the mail for a Digital TV Converter box, but I'm not sure what I can do with one with it because I already have cable TV.

If I plug an old analog TV into one of these converter boxes with my cable connection, can I get a bunch of unscrambled digital stations that I couldn't get before? I'm curious if someone has tried it already, and what their results were.

The converter box is just for Over The Air broadcasting. Since OTA signals are going to be digital only signals, the box is needed to see OTA signals on an older TV. It has nothing to do with cable TV.
