[QUOTE="SWHouston, post: 52474, member: 4580"]Greetings Gary welcome to the Forum :welcome: Are you saying that your HDTV does not have a built in Tuner ? Take a look at the Spec Sheet or look for the following labels on it... If it has a Digital Tuner in it, it will have a label like... HDTV DTV TUNER SDTV TUNER HD TUNER DTV-READY If it does not have a ATSC Tuner in it, then these may be seen... HD-MONITOR HDTV READY HDTV CAPABLE Should the latter be the case, then you can purchase a Digital Tuner, or, I believe there are resources where you could buy the parts, and assemble one yourself. Just in case you'd like to test your TV, you can buy/borrow a simple set of RabitEars or other Antenna to temporarily connect to the set, do a scan, and see if you can receive any Digital station. If you can, then your set has an ATSC/Digital Tuner in it, and you then can arrange for a more perminent acceptable Antenna System for it. Have a good Day ! :) S.W.[/QUOTE]
