Is KFFV the only digital station that your Sony can't receive or does not not receive any? If KTTV is the only station that you can't receive, then lack of tuner sensitivity may be the reason. If you can't receive any digital stations, then the explanation is likely the fact that older wide screen TV sets did not have integrated ATSC [digital] tuners. If this is the case, the you need an external tuner or converter box like your Artec.
