For $40 coupon you get a tuner that outputs one channel. Some have passthrough which allows you to get the current analog signal, but you can just get a splitter to put in before the box if your tv has video 1,2,3 etc or aux inputs. I would pay more if I could get a box that is a multi output tuner that gives more than 1 channel (so you can use your vcr & dvd recorder on it on separate channels). These boxes are directed at the people who don't have cable or dish and want a cheap way to keep their tv. They are not rocket science!

If you have a antenna with more than one TV connected to it through a splitter, do you need a converter for each TV or will one suffice?
