If this is just an occasional use TV in a guest room and has a QAM tuner, what about just providing "basic" programing via that tuner, rather than using the converter?

Yes.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27977244 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:37:02 EDT Re: What to do with STB with flat panel http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27977112 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27977112 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 09:45:44 EDT Re: What to do with STB with flat panel http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27975323 Would it happen to be LG or Samsung that has the FIOS app?
You could use that if you have wireless.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27975323 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:48:49 EDT Re: What to do with STB with flat panel http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27975150

I dont want to have to pay for a STB that will be used maybe a week out of the year.

You bought a new TV for your bedroom that you watch one week out of a year?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27974398 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:55:35 EDT Re: What to do with STB with flat panel http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27974335 I dont know what model digital converter I have, its about 4 years old. It works less than well.

I struggle with keeping Verizons monthly bill down. Its almost my part time job, watching it climb and working to keep it down.

I'll just use a WD TV and forget about cable TV.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27974335 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:19:10 EDT Re: What to do with STB with flat panel http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27973571

I feed the TV with HDMI through the wall. I don't know what type of "digital converter" you're referring to, but only STBs from Verizon will work to get Verizon programming. "Digital converters" for over-the-air will not work unless they have a QAM tuner. Some TVs have QAM receivers and will receive channels 1-49 and local HD channels from Verizon using a direct coax feed with no other box.

I get Verizon programming from my TiVos.

What if I were to use a digital converter, maybe throw that behind the tilt and hope that it will kinda receive a signal?

Is there any way to have FIOS service with a flat screen and no electronic junk with cables?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/What-to-do-with-STB-with-flat-panel-27973050 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 17:53:28 EDT
