I hope this is the right Forum for this.
I have 2 Vizio HD tvs, different models, diff sizes but both specs show having the same "Integrated ATSC/QAM/NTSC television tuner".
I am trying to avoid renting anymore boxes from Cox so I connected the 2 tvs directly to the cable to see what HD channels I can get. The 32" picks up the Virtual Digital channels (I dont know everything about this but the original channel is like channel 8, channel 8.1 is the HD version). the 32" Vizio gets several of these, the 19" doesnt pick up a single one just the normal channels. Vizio tech support says its a bad Digital tuner, I take it back and get another...same thing. What does it take to get the Virtual Digital channels? I have tried scanning over and over from the Menu and still nothing.
Anybody have help on this?
