If you are only getting a "snowy French station" (Channel 16) then you do not have a digital tuner. Just as there are no rotary cell phones, there is also no analog HDTV.

Make sure your TV has an ASTC tuner; it should say in the manual. I know some new RCA TVs are being sold without this tuner. (Which I think should be either illegal, or have a massive warning on the box.)
