It requires a cable/satellite box for viewing over the air content. There is no built in tuner.

Yes, as far as I know. All TV's have a built in tuner. Otherwise they are just a monitor

I don't use the tuner as I get input from my DirecTV box. However, as I look at the specs, it has a PAL-BGH tuner. In you search wikipedia for this tuner, it appears to be analog not digital.

Yes, there is a digital TV tuner. We only receive OTA signals and use the internet for all else.

Hi Ronald, No, the TV does not need to be HD, but the TV Tuner must be a Digital Tuner. A Regular TV Antenna hooked up to a Digital TV Tuner will also pick up TV Stations. But Newer TVs with a better HD TV Tuner would be your best bet rather than older models.

It has a digital tuner, so you can hook this directly to an antenna and pick up local over the air HD channels

Yes it has an ATSC tuner, you will need to connect some sort of antenna and it does very well with over the air content. I would recommend going to antennaweb.org to see what the best antenna choice is for your area.

Yes it has an ntsc analog tuner and as I recall an atsc digital tuner but it's been a long time since I used it with the tuner and as I recall it didn't work too well with HD broadcasts. These days, I use it occasionally to transfer something from my cable systems' dvr. You can find a a lot of great info about this device on the avs forum.

This particular model does not.. but it is a great tv. I bought it for my daughter and we have had no issues with it. It does have the components to hook up anything you need!

Ernest C. Nolder,Yes, there is a digital HD tuner that you can connect "rabbit ear" antennas to get local over-the-air broadcasts. There is a choice to use the tuner, or to have it scan for cable channels, or both. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

Yes, it does. It also includes Avermedia's TV Tuner software and a dongle to connect an antenna or RF cable. I purchased a cheap antenna, but was unable to get an Over The Air (OTA) programming. I dont know if that is due to the hilly area I live in or quality of the TV tuner. I think it was my area. I'll try to connect an old VCR and post an update.

Dear Customer,This item does have a build-in HD Tuner. It is however, a multifunctional monitor.
