Your Vizio is already equipped with a digital tuner, so in essence, if you added a converter box to it, it would use the digital tuner from the converter box instead....but not increase reception quality. Your best bet would be to add an external antenna, but it's impossible to tell how much it'll actually help without knowing how close to the television broadcast towers are to your house. I'd recommend reading our suggesions here first before purchasing a new antenna: http://www.tvconversionhelp.com/2009/02/07/indoor-dtv-antenna-reviews/ http://www.tvconversionhelp.com/2010/01/03/best-rated-dtv-hdtv-antennas-for-less-than-50/ Also, if you do decide to buy a new antenna, make sure you purchase from a store that has a good return policy just in case it doesn't help. Good luck. Hi Maria,
