Problem with my Mitsu HDTV

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, or if anyone will even be able to help. But, my Mitsu HDTV (WS-48515) no longer picks up digital broadcast signals. Analog broadcast, Cable, HDMI, and Component inputs all work fine. Whenever I tune to a digital channel, I get a gray/blue screen saying "Channel off air or doesn't exist, please try another". I've tried a different antenna so that isn't the problem. I've also tried a system reset. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks for any help.
 
Do you know that your antenna is actually receiving anything? It definitely has to be in the right direction to receive a signal.
 
Yeah, I guess I should have mentioned everything was working well until while watching today, this happened. I can't pick up any digital broadcast channels and the antenna shouldn't be the problem - I'm about 4 miles from most of the broadcast towers so I know it's pointing in the right direction.

Hmm, not sure. It is worth noting I had to change the direction of my antenna during the day to get a stable signal for some reason. Don't know why. Either something is obstructing the signal or your HDTV tuner just..died somehow. I doubt the latter. Are you sure the 75/300 Ohm antenna->CATV converter thing isn't screwed up? Whatever you call the thing that's between the two prongs on the antenna connector and the coax connector.

I'm sure about the connector - I tried a completely different antenna (that was checked before) and it still didn't work. I'm scratching my head here.
 
Just found out that I can pick up Fox DT so my tuner is fine. Now I just have to figure out why I lost NBC, ABC, CBS, UPN, PBS, and the others.
