Default Direct TV Box for use with DTV?

hi,
can i use a direct tv box with digital tv? its about 3 years old, and has all of the connections to hook up to my tv. i've kept it after cancelling my direct tv service, and it would be nice to not have to buy a new converter box.

direct tv receivers only receive digital Satellite signals the tv signals they receive are analog not digital they have an analog pass through much like many converter boxes. so it will not receive digital over the air unless your tv has a digital tuner if it has a digital tuner you do not need a box.
