Default Can I use my VS Plat light as digital reciever

Hello everyone, I have a VS platinum light receiver and I just purchased an amplified HD TV indoor antenna that receives VHF and UHF Digital signals. I hooked it up and it doesn't work on my TV it must not have a digital tuner. Can I use my platinum light receiver as a tuner for regular broadcast television? And what would be involved in doing so? Thank you for your time, Scott
