Does a digital converter require the set to have an analog tuner?
I currently have a new-ish TV with no tuner whatsoever. I'm already getting digital TV from a DVD recorder which contains a digital tuner. I was considering buying a digital converter, thinking that for $10 or so, with the coupon, it would give me the ability to watch one program while recording another. Any reason this wouldn't work? Does the converter box need to send its signal into an analog tuner to work, or will it work with my tunerless TV?

No. At least as long as the converter box connects to your TV with component, composite, or S-video AV cables. If it connects via the threaded coaxial input, then it is RF and needs a tuner in the TV (I've never seen any like that but I am not sure they don't exist).

All converters have at least composite output, so your plan should work just fine.
You also need a 1-to-2 RF splitter so the antenna signal can go to both the VCR and the new box.
