Hitachi 43fdx01b help

[baller_34752]

Hello,

I recently bought a hitachi 43fdx01b. When went to search for channels, the TV didn' recognize any HD channels. I have cable, and I connected it to the TV on antennae A. I also a Vizio HDTV downstairs that has HD channels on it. Why can't I get HD channels on my hitachi? How can I get those channels?

Your Hitachi does not possess a digital tv tuner. To get your locals in digital, go to Radio Shack and get a cheapie converter. If you want HD locals, try getting an old Directv HD box that has a stand-alone tuner (Panasonic and Hughes would be easiest to find). A stand-alone HD over-the-air box is stupid expensive.

A cheapie converter? What's that?

I'm serious. What's a cheapie converter. Do you just mean a cheap converter?
