Confused about analog vs digital channel reception

Hi,
I'm glad I found this forum. I'm sure you guys will be able to help me.
I bought a Terk HDTVo outdoor amplified UHF VHF antenna and to go with that a DTVPal DVR recorder so I could skip the commercials and record programs.
When I first got the antenna I hooked it up to my Sharp Aquos LCD Tv and was able to receive a fair number of UHF and VHF channels.
I was hoping I would do even better with the DTV Pal because the manufacturer claims that the built in tuners are of superior quality. Not so. The reception is about the same except for the fact that I'm losing channel 41 (CBS) and channel 44 which is my favorite channel KSPS public television.Both of them are analog and according to the manual,the DTV Pal can only receive digital channels.
My Sharp TV on the other hand gets them fine but with that I'm not able to fast forward through commercials or record.
So I'm wondering if there is some kind of workaround that would make it possible for me to receive analog channels going through my DTVPal.
