Answer:
It's possible. Since you can get the converter box coupons by calling 1-888-DTV-2009 the final cost after coupon is only $10 or $20. If they don't work it won't cost much. Some of the time whatever antenna is with the TV will work ok But you might have to buy an attic antenna or a roof antenna to pick up all the stations. Sometimes a signal booster on the antenna will help pick up more stations. That will cost about $20

You may luck out on this one. You should give it a shot and keep your store receipt so in case it doesn't work, you can return your box. The thing that you should know is while you get "static" there still may be digital signals floating through the air and the box has it's own antenna {wire} that locks in these digital channels. I bought one of those converter boxes with the government coupon just to see how the box works. You know, even though we have Cable here at the house, the digital box picked up channels that I didn't get paying for cable? The rule on the government coupons is that you can have 2 per household or if you have a spare tv in the bedroom not with a box you can have a coupon. Here's an article below on how to get a coupon if they are still available.
