Think I should have said "extremely fussy". Think I only got the strongest signals about 5% of the time. Not at all a practical thing to do. Otherwise I would have though of using an old TV tuner inside a vintage TV set, then feed its IF to the ATSC converter (upconverted to a channel it could tune, or maybe find the IF strip inside the box and feed it directly), and take the resulting demodulated video and audio and feed it to the audio amp and video amp of the TV set (bypassing the TV set's IF amps).
