A:Answer you need a digital converter box; the Aluratek device works for that purpose; for years, I used one from something called 'mediasonic,' I believe, which was okay, but would shut down with no warning, then re-boot. So far the Aluratek device works; a high-end antenna that also plugs in has greatly improved the picture quality of the old tv I use. However, because of a lack of directions, I haven't been able to figure out how to record a program using the Aluratek device using a flashdrive. I'll continue to attempt to do that. good luck
