Are there digital tuners, and HD digital tuners?
Posted on Sep 08, 2008 under Digital news and reports |I haven’t been able to really search for the answer to that question, yet it seemed implied in something i read.
I have a 5 year old or so 1080i HDTV, and i cant get over the air HD channels with my roofs antenna.
I noticed on the back of the TV there’s a spot for a cord that says “to converter.” With that there, im assuming im going to need a converter box.
So when i get one, what should i be looking for? Are there converters that will let me get the HD broadcasts in HD, or just converters that take the digital signal and turn it into something my TV can show as normal video?

The first thing to do is to look in your Owner’s Manual or Google the model number to see if your set has an “ATSC Tuner”. ATSC is the standard for free Over The Air digital transmission. Considering the age of your set, it may or may not have an ATSC tuner.
If it does have and ATSC tuner, then you are set. You just need to get your antenna set up properly.
If it does not have an ATSC tuner, then you need to purchase an external one if you wish to receive free Over The Air digital TV. This article has links to a number of different models http://tv.about.com/od/accesspries/tp/topATSCreceiver.htm .
I hope this helps. Please return and select a Best Answer from all of those submitted.
