Will this work for a HDTV? I was told I need a QAM tuner since my tv isnt picking up the digital channels... thanks in advance

I don't think so.unless your tv has a usb port.Also the antenna comes with is not strong enough for tv.

I didn't like it at all, not even one channel worked for me. It could be that I did something wrong but I don't think so.

Well, why isn't your t.v. picking up signals I wonder? This tuner is great as it works directly through your computer; it just needs a regular TV antenna. It works by picking up the signals from your local stations, that send HDTV signals. Now if you want to get the Cable select channels, then you would only need to purchase their service and you will then get the set top box that is the tuner for the cable channels for which you had negotiated a service.

it has a qam and off air hdtv tuner but only one or the other not 2 tuners that can be used at once but if you get a combiner then in reality i would think when u scan it will find both if thats ur question.. look on their website for the manual it should explain that because i no longer have it since its sold..

tuner works for analog and digital signals (cable or over the air). It dooes not record in HD--but it does upconverty the recordings to hd. Plays pre recorded disks in upconverted clarity. You will be spoiled by the hard drive recording (no tpes etc) Can be bought from Walmart on ship to store(on line)

Im not a subject matter expert but I would say yes, it will work with your analog/digital converter box. Here lies the potential why:http://www.ebay.com/gds/NO-SUCH-THING-AS-A-HDTV-ANTENNA/10000000003429040/g.html

it has both a digital and an analog tuner. You should have no problems providing the channels are in the clear. IE - not scrambled. I have two of these units (500G, 1T) and they work famously w/ Time-Warner. Only wish they would accept cable cards.

No, it's designed to be a cable card tuner. You have much more affordable options out there for QAM tuners.

Yes, you need a QAM tuner. If you have acable box you need at least a NTSC tuner for channel 3 or 4. For basic cable right out of the wall, you will need a QAM tuner. Does this TV have a QAM tuner?

I am not sure either about the tuner type but I use my set with a Terk HDTV indoor antenna and I receive all of my surrounding channels (both HDTV and digital) just fine. I do not subscribe to cable or satellite. Hope that helps!

The Channel Master 7001 tuner is not an analog tuner. It is a digital only type tuner. It can pick up digital ATSC signals (over the air digital signals) and it can pickup unscrambled QAM digital signals on a cable TV system. But neither of these two formats are the older type of NTSC "analog" signals you are asking about. Of course analog signals are no longer broadcast over the air and many cable systems are also getting rid of them too since it is an outdated approach. But many cable systems also still carry some analog signals (in standard definition) for those customers that don't want to pay for digital cable boxes or don't have compatible equipment. Most TVs today have both a built in digital tuner and an analog NTSC type tuner so a TV can scan in both types of channels. While it is a drawback of the 7001 tuner that it can't do analog NTSC channels, the price is still very low for what you get given its digital capabilities. I've bought mine realizing it was not going to do the analog channels. I've had it for about two months and really like it for receiving digital HD signals on cable. I use it with an Epson HD projector.

This iView 3500STB works in Kentucky on Time Warner Cable. It will tune the unscrambled channels. It gets the numbers wrong but the channels are there. You say your TV could find unscrambled QAM channels so this iView set top box should do the same. If it's not working, I'd have to guess that it is a defective unit providing you have chosen "cable" in the menu for it's channel search.

It can convert QAM signals, depending on you cable system you may have to get different firmware for this from IView customer support. They will email it to you when you call.

It tunes digital channels from the cable company that are not scrambled. My cable company recently went all digital. I use it on an older "HD ready" Sony projection TV whose built in tuner can't receive digital channels. I connect it to the TV with an HDMI connection. By changing the source on the TV to the proper HDMI input this becomes the tuner in use.It comes with a remote. Once I turn on the TV, I use the tuner's remote.

If the local channels are clear QAM - then it may find them. To determine if the channels are in clear QAM, see if you can use a HDTV to tune to the channels. Sorry, don't have cable to verify if this module can tune in to the cable channels (versus OTA).

Exactly. Thanks Zhou. I was about to post this link. According to this page it does have QAM tuner.

I have used it for both HDTV and for Radio. It works great for both! It will depend on your area (as with any attempt to gain extra radio stations), such as elevation and mountains, but I live in Michigan, and I am able to pick up very weak radio stations! I hope this helps!

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.

Yes. It is both an ATSC and QAM tunner. It does not however support NTSC. If your have a "clear" digital cable or digital over the air signal it will tune it.
