4. ATSC box then converts the ch 5 or 6 digital signal to audio & video, which feeds the TV set.

That's essentially what I did in post 32, but I found the tuning very fussy to get the ATSC box to do anything. Seems the DTV signal needs to be nearly dead on frequency for an ATSC box to lock onto it and decode it properly. I don't think any DTV set comes with an analog tuning front end.
