Can the "old" TNT decoders still be useful?

Hello,
Is there any use for the old decoder (non-HD) or should it be thrown away?
I should mention that I'm not very good with "all this tech stuff," and if the decoder can still be useful for anything, a clearly drawn diagram would be very helpful.
Thank you for your help and advice.

    Hello
    unfortunately no
    unlike old VCRs that still allow you to play old video tapes; a decoder only serves to decode terrestrial signals
    the old one decoded the signals in SD which used to be analog
    but there are no more SD signals since now it's all in HD
    so only an HD decoder will be useful to you

      No, there are still 3 SD signals in MPEG 4! And worse, some HD channels have seen their quality decrease

      (see specialized TV forums...)

      gil .....but we don't care at all that the quality is SD ......... in any case, the broadcast is in MPEG-4 !!!

      So an MPEG-2 decoder at best can serve as a wedge (lol)
