Yes, but you have the same limitations as cable users. Since, the old tuner is no longer working, you can't use it to program your VCR. Attach your converter to your VCR, program your record function, but use the connection with the converter as your station. On my VCR, I have the connection set at Line 1. I program my VCR to record L1 at the time I want the show to record. You have to leave the converter box on and set for the channel you want to record. You won't be able to record shows on different channels, unless you can change the converter box.
