Is my polaroid TLX-04244B Digital

I am not getting digital chanels. I have scanned, it says it is searching for digital chanels but only comes up with analog chanels. What is up? I have an HGTV antena also, so why am I not getting digital chanels?

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.)

Last night I turned my Polaroid TLX 04244B off, and had zero problems. This afternoon, I have a 6" pattern of horizontal lines across the right hemisphere of the screen. They come and go, darker...

You are probably seeing hum bars which may be due to an AC ground loop that is going through the shields of one or more of the cables inteconnecting the TV with one or more of the other video components. You should do the following to try to resolve it...
1. reseat all the interconnecting cables between TV and other units
2. have all AC power supplied by one power bar with a ground plug

Can't get all cable channels

Chech with you cable company to see if they switched to the higher chanels. I do not know if you are connected directly to the antenna or a cable box.
