Sorry about that. I should have stopped and thought awhile (a good long while) before shooting off that post. You are correct -- since the box is actually connected ahead of the TV's own tuner, the make, model, vintage, etc. of the TV itself makes no difference. I've seen in this very forum posts showing 1950s and even late '40s TVs on DTV converters, and the sets work quite well with them, showing good pictures. Since the TV itself is basically just acting as a display (the set's own tuner and IF circuits are processing only the channel 3 or 4 RF output signal from the box and not an OTA signal from an antenna), the converter doesn't care if the TV it is connected to is five or 55 years old; the converter will work regardless. The same reasoning may be applied to VCRs and DVD/Blu-ray players -- they don't give a darn how new or old the TV they are used with may be; the units will work just as well, except of course with b&w NTSC TVs the picture will not be in color or in HD.

I have had a DTV converter overwhelm my little Sony S8-301....which otherwise does pick up stuff just fine from my little in-house transmitter (OTA).
If I were to look into it though....this may be handled by just looking at gain or AGC.
