I don't see why not. All you have to do is connect the converter between your cable and the VCR, put the latter on channel 3 or 4, and you're good to go. Note that you would tune channels on the cable box, not the VCR or the TV. The latter must remain on channel 3 or 4 to receive the output of the VCR, through which the cable box connects to your TV. The diagram below explains this:



Cable--->cable box--->VCR--->television


The same connection scheme will work if you are using a TV antenna with a DTV converter box; just substitute "DTV box" for "cable box" in the diagram. Be sure you have sufficient signal strength at the antenna, however, before you try this. The reason is that the over-the-air TV signal will be weaker at each connection point in the system; that is, it will be strongest where the antenna connects to the DTV box, and weakest at the point where the VCR connects to the television's antenna terminals. This dodge will work even with NTSC (pre-DTV) VCRs and televisions since the cable box will convert the digital (ATSC) signal to NTSC analog.
