Maybe. It really depends on the cable company and what they're sending out. Some channels may not need to use the conversion system in the cable box and the converter box might decode some of them. But, keep in mind that this isn't always true, since the boxes are controlled at the cable company and they have the options of using the microprocessor inside the box to control your subscription level. Try it and see. I think you'll be disappointed, though.

What is a cable converter?

A converter is a device that collects all the available channels from the cable company and puts it into an RF signal on a particular channel. Some converters can even change the signal to a "Video" format which can then be attached to a VCR for superior picture. A converter cannot be used to receive premium channels which are scrambled as by itself it is just a channel changer and not a descrambler. You can get all the basic channels with a converter if your TV is not the cable ready type. But if you add a descrambler to your converter, you can then access all the scrambled channels. You can get a converter from your cable company and attach a descrambler to it or you can purchase both the devices on your own and use them to access channels. However, it is illegal to not inform the cable company that you are receiving their signals.
