I have one of those converters, too, though I was lucky to have one in working condition. It's a strange beast (mine's a Sylvania). It broadcasts the converted VHF signal across several channels, so I turn the VHF dial till I find one without a legitimate VHF signal to compete (usually channel 4 works best for my area). I then turn the UFH tuner on the set to the station I want. It's very touchy, so it takes a bit of trial and error to set everything up (you have to fine tune both the converter and the VHF tuner on the TV). It sure makes me appreciate the patience people must have had to buy and use one of these things instead of springing for a UHF set. I'll use it once in a while with my Predicta, but I'd rather just grab a modern portable TV with UHF than fiddle with the thing.
