my dad's tuner went out on his olivia hd tv i bought him i called the company too see what was wrong and they told me tuner is shot. He had a storm and it quit working after that. He got a hd box from cable and it works thru the box but to put cable from wall to tv it will not work it says no signal. and everything is set correctly to the phone call with company. Now my questions is he really can't afford the box is there something else i can use such as a vcr that will act as a tuner i tried one of those converter boxes but it did not work

i would appreciate any help anyone has
thanks
