It really depends on the Dish receiver that you get from them. If it has a composite video output, you might be able to use it. If not, then most likely you're stuck with only a RF (antenna) connection or a strictly digital connection. There is a way around that though. By using the 'fixed channel output" on the dish receiver (usually set to channel three or four, although you can change it in the user's menu) and adding a digital to analog converter between the dish receiver and the TV (setting it to match the fixed channel output of your Dish receiver) you can then convert the digital signal back to analog for your older TV set. The picture will most likely look a but better than just the straight analog signal simply because there's more picture information available. I know it's the `long way around', but it should work for your intentions. You might also want to consider adding an antenna switch between the Dish receiver and an external antenna so you can use the same converter for receiving you local over the air broadcasts.

If you have a digital tv and an outdoor antennae do you need a converter box?
In the US the answer is probably not. Digital and analog TV broadcasts use the same frequencies and antennas. Digital TV is more fussy about signal quality than the older analog signals. So if you get marginal analog reception, figure on getting a new antenna for digital. The idea that there are special HDTV antennas is just marketing hype. Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.
