Taking a HDTV signal and running it through that
converter box to get NTSC will degrade the quality so
it is no longer HDTV quality. It will, unless that
converter box is real trash, still be a better quality
signal than you are likely to have ever seen from over
the air NTSC.
From what I have heard, most anyone who can get a
stable NTSC UHF signal over the air will be able to get
a better DTV signal with the same antenna.
You could get a worse signal if the station chooses
to broadcast DTV at lower power than they did NTSC, or
if they change the transmission antenna so you get less
of a signal, or if the NTSC was at a frequency you could
pick up well but the DTV is at a different frequency
that is not as good for you.
