Yes, providing your TV has a HDTV tuner built in. If not, you'll need a converter box.
To record on an HDTV antenna, you'll need a digital video recorder (DVR) that is compatible with over-the-air signals. Connect the antenna to the DVR and set it up to scan for channels. Once set up, you can schedule recordings through the DVR's interface for your desired shows. Alternatively, some smart TVs have built-in DVR capabilities that allow you to record directly to an attached USB storage device.
Yes, it is alright to use a converter box on an HDTV. Go to Input and change the settings from HDTV to regular television viewing and it should work fine after the television scans for programs.
