I am getting a Samsung LN40A550 which has a built in ATSC tuner. I already have Digital Cable from Shaw Cable and am using the standard digital cable box (not the HD box).

I understand that I would still need to buy the HD cable box to get all the HD channels, but will I be able to get any HD feeds without it?

So I had an old antenna lying around and set it up. Right off the bat I got 5 channels in “air” mode. These were not HD channels (quality was worse then regular cable) just local channels that I already got on my regular cable. When I mess around with the controller it says NO DTV right away. 2 questions: 1) I just have regular cable, how do I get DTV?
2) Do I need DTV to get HD?

Im not planning to subscribe anytime soon so lets go with free channels. I read the hdtv with Qam can pick up to 20-25 free hd channels but couldnt find anyone saying how many hd channel can the ATSC get without the Qam. The Questions are:

1) How many hd channel can the hdtv pick up without Qam?

2) Can the Qam help pick up more free channels(non-hd) compare to using the ATSC(digital tuner) alone?

My situation is wether to get an hdtv with Qam or not that cost $150 more…and depending on what shows/movies appear on the hdtv to make the $150 worthwhile. I searched through google without any luck, any help is greatly appreciated’

I received this TV as a gift over the holidays and was wondering if its a good tv and wondering if it will give me any problems? If it will give me problems, what should I do to avoid them? It goes all the way up to 1080i! Please let me know..
It also came with this paper work slip saying that I need to fill it our and send it in for the warranty so that no one will ask for a receipt for the warranty. Its like a registration form. Should I fill this out?

I have a “SONY BRAVIA” KDL -32L4000.

720p built-in ATSC Digital Tuner. What’s this?

HDTV with ATSC/ QAM Digital Tuner.

What does this help me with when it comes to the new dtv?

Would’ I still have to use a CONVERTED BOX to watch my channels or will I be fine without one?

I am clueless about: HDTV, ATSC/QAM Digital Tuner and CONVERTED BOXES…

Also, which will it be the best converted box to buy for this TV?

Or which tools will I need for this type of TV and the new programming?

I will really appreciate any great information…Thank you

We have a brand new Samsung LNT4053H 40″ LCD HDTV which comes with an ATSC tuner. We have to move to India soon and were wondering if the tuner would be able to pick up signals that are broadcasted in PAL or DVB. If not, are there convertors available? Thanks!

Justin G asked:


At my college you just plug in the cable wire to you tv and that’s the free cable you get. Would I get HDTV that way? Or would I have to get a cable box and HDTV Service? I heard that if you have an integrated ATSC Tuner in your TV you can get free HDTV, is this true?
