Vizio tv chanel search is not finding digital chanels.

You must purchase a digital to analog converter to receive over the air broadcasts now, that has been so for about 2 years. Your TV can't receive digital broadcasts directly.

You have to select analog tuner to scan for the antenna signals.

You can select this in the menu.

The thing to find out first is does it have a ATSC type (digital tuner) in it or not---if not you may need a set top converter box for this.

Recheck all connections and try to get the TV on channel 3 or 4 especially if you have a cable or satellite box.

yes find an SWR meter to "trim" your antenna; don't just guess.

you will have to hook the tivo to the cable box and reconfiger, you will have to hook up the ir eye from the tivo to the box so thay can talk. the newist tivo is realy cool it take a cable card and can record muilt chanels but your old one when configured with the cable box will only record one chanel at a time and you wont be able to watch another channel wile its recording

I checked out the manual for a similar model tv from polaroid...there's only one input for the coax cable from your antenna, so if the antenna's cable is connected to this input, this couldn't be the problem. What I do have trouble with on my own tv is that my indoor antenna location can make huge differences in recognizing all available digital signals. I could even have the antenna facing a different direction, and get different results. There are a few sites you can google for to find your distance from the broadcast towers, too. This might help to determine if you need a stronger antenna. It's a painfully long procedure to try different angles and positions for your antenna each time you run a channel scan, but this might be the only thing that would prevent you from picking up the digitals. I try the highest spot possible, and the one closest to the outdoors. Good luck, I hope you can pick them up soon! (Any antenna works...the industry tries to pass off "digital/hdtv specific antennas" to make a buck. I've used a cheapy rabbit-ears antenna and was able to bring in digital channels, as long as your tv or converter box is converting the signal.)

you need to go into the menue, under setup and chanels, do the auto program, it will memorise all the chanels that you can get, analog, and digital, after that, just type in an analog chanel, if it goes to a digital chanel, hit the chanel down button

i had prob where my sony would switch off for a few secs thenh come back on . The solution was in menu / tv settings / sleep timer . Go into that and make sure its set to off. there are opions for off , 5 min 20 min 30 min etc... mine was set to nothing just blank.
