The fact that some OTA stations are received and others are SNOW (not 'no signal' as is normal with weak digital signals) is very odd. But we still need to try switching the signal type in the setup menu..

I have a similar age Sony Bravia, and it does not require any menu setup (other than to scan for channels) to switch between analog and digital. It finds the analogs and the digitals and should say how many it found when the scan mode ends. Pretty simple. If the tuned channel has a number displayed like "5" that's analog. A "5.1" would be the digital version. I never see snow on a digital channel. "No Signal" message will appear on a dead digital channel. Tune to a dead analog channel, gray snow just like in the olden days.
