Jay asked:


I ordered a TV online and I havent got it yet. The TV i bought has a Built-in digital tuner: (ATSC/NTSC/Clear-QAM)

Can anyone tell me what kind of antenna i will need to watch local Over the air channels.?

I went to www.antennaweb.org and it said i need a small multidirectional antenna and most of the channels were Yellow UHF, a few were yellow VHF.

Will i need to buy a expensive antenna? or can i buy a cheap priced one?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE IT

the Tv is a 50 inch samsung plasma pn50a550
Can someone also explain what is the difference between a outdoor and indoor antenna?

Do i need a Outdoor one, or a Indoor one.? ( the local channel broadcasters are 20-30 miles away)

ATSC tuner & 42′ lcd hdtv? Question about an antena too? Very confusedl Help?

Thursday, May 7th, 2009
Heather H asked:


ATSC tuner: The ATSC tuner means that you can enjoy over-the-air digital channels and theater quality audio (with a separate HD antenna) without the need for a digital antenna.

I bought a lcd hdtv yesterday and i am waiting for it to be delivered but i dnt know if i need an antena to watch tv? I dont have cable so i watch basic tv.

I have an HDTV with built-in tuner. I am getting the over-the-air digital broadcast. How can I get 5.1 sound

Monday, May 4th, 2009
HDTV sound system asked:


The TV has a built-in ATSC tuner. Therefore, I connect the antenna directly to my TV. I know that digital broadcast comes with 5.1 surround system. What can I do to watch shows in 5.1 dolby digital. Do I have to buy an external ATSC tuner and an A/V receiver? Or can I take advantage of the TV’s built-in tuner? (I would like the cheapest solution).

Thanks in advance…
