If there is a converter in the mix you have to assume it's too old. However, when you do a channel scan do you see the number of Digital and the number or Analog channels found (0 in both if nothing found)? If not, then it is an analog TV. If everything between the converter and the TV is connected correctly you WILL see that if found either channel 3 or channel 4 as the converter broadcasts that channel so you can access the converter menu. If you don't see that then it's not properly wired (or dead) or you have a Digital TV that you are trying to run through a converter which would not be the correct setup.
Keep in mind that by flat screen we are not really referring to the fact that the screen of the TV is flat. The TV should only be a few inches thick total. It would be listed as an LCD or LED/LCD and not one of the older style TV's that used a CRT tube and were 15" deep.
There were also some thin flat screens in the early days that were still analog. In most cases, doing the channel scan and looking at what it says about channels found (digital/analog) will give you a good start.
