VIZIO LCD HDTV Broken Antenna Connector

[electonutcase]

.My VIZIO antenna input connection snapped off, how do I use HDMI to bypass and connect my outside HD antenna ?

The reason being for the antenna connector is to decode ATSC (the official name for over-the-air digital broadcast). Without it, then you will need an external ATSC TUNER in place, which will have coax in for the antenna, and HDMI out for your TV.
