kallend 2,151 #1 January 10, 2012 Thinking of getting a new TV. Reading the inputs specs of various brands, I never see "Tuner", just a list of various HDMI, PC, USB, WiFi ... inputs. Is a tuner no longer considered normal, or is it just automatically expected so not listed? I get 55 HD channels from my rooftop antenna with my current TV....

BrokenR1 0 #2 January 10, 2012 If it's a TV then it's included automatically. If it's listed as a monitor then no tuner. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arvoitus 1 #6 January 10, 2012 Where have you been looking at? Some random LG TV (click Specifications, can't make direct link, what you're looking for is listed under Broadcasting system) Some random Sony TV (again click Specs, info under 'TV System')Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Abedy 0 #7 January 10, 2012 Ah, come on. We travelled Southern England this summer and were amazed how things have changed within just 7 years or so. I always was able to find "Friends" or something like that on the telly. And yeah, a great deal a shite as well. And prices have gone up, who would have guessed. But OTHO, menus in pubs provide a greater variety, you no longer need to look for Chinese, Indian, Italian restaurants etc - even in villages with only two pubs. As for the telly: Make sure it provides DVB-T (that's what your rooftop antenna is for), DVB-S (satellite dish for even more free shite? ) and if you want to burn some money on cable: DVB-C. A built-in receiver (or tuner if you like) comes much more handy than an external one. But if you want to stick with your external receiver, you don't need to watch for a "tuner" feature: built-in. Make sure you can connect the external receiver with a HDMI cable - SCART will not provide HD. The sky is not the limit. The ground is.

Afaik they don't use DVB for terrestial broadcast and for cable it might be used, or maybe not.Your rights end where my feelings begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abedy 0 #12 January 11, 2012 Yes, I confused the OP and the fellow from the UK who answered to him. My bad. Anyway, DVB-S should be an option in the USA?The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
