Sony Bravia KDL-40S4100 QAM tuner compatible?

Hi,
I live in Asbestos Qc and my cable provider is Cogeco, Qc

My TV set is a Sony Bravia KDL-40S4100, this TV is suposed to have a build-in NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuner. But some channel like PBS (33) and Discovery channel (34) are not available.

Recently i receive from Cogeco a PACE DC50X converter. This converter give me all channel i actually receive includind PBS and Discovery channel plus some more new, like TAC channel.

My question is :
Why is my Sony Bravia KDL-40S4100, is not capable to tune-in with PBS and Discovery channel ?

After reading more carefully, i realize that my situation is like "bobmckenzie123". Since i'm still on basic analog cable signal (NTSC), without the DC50x converter, my TV set just pick up NTSC analog with some SD 480i low res channel.

"Ratatosk" also have a good point, in my area we are in progress to switch from analog to numeric, but Cogeco will keep a "basic" analog service with channel 2 throuigh 23 at lower price, and offer the option to use a converter to regain access to all previous channel at higher price (good for them :)

I will try to clarify my question,
My Sony Bravia KDL-40S4100 have a build-in NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuner
The Pace DC50Xu is a DTA ! Wright ?

If i switch to full numeric cable, is my TV set will tune the same channel the Pace converter did ?
