If you have an analog TV tuner connected to your computer, you most likely have realized it no longer works now that all television broadcasts are digital. However, this does not mean you can no longer use your analog TV converter. You just need to treat the tuner as an analog television. An analog television can still view TV programming as long as a converter box is connected to it.
