I believe it means you can connect an antenna like this one, http://www.channelmasterstore.com/Digital_HDTV_Outdoor_TV_Antenna_p/cm-4221hd.htm, directly to the TV to watch over-the-air HDTV.

Toshiba does not want to tell the consumer about the contrast ratio of their TV. I searched on their official website and even called their customer service for this particular product. They told us that Toshiba does not release this information to the consumer.... I guess because they are not that good, so they rather not to tell.Buy another brand who dare to show their information for comparison purpose.

I have a digital cable box and it only records to the channel that I select. On my Toshiba, there is no choice to choose which station to record. Whatever station is selected on the TV, it records. Hope this helps. roger

HELP!I assumed that when I purchased this Toshiba that it would hook up the same as my old DVD recorder {which was hit by lightening} to my Dish receiver and TV.HOWEVER it does not. The audio and video cords work the same but my old SV2000 had a connection of coaxial cable both to the TV and to the Dish receiver and this Toshiba has no place for either.What can I do?I don't know anything about these tech things but I thought someone might if you can help me please.I called Dish Network for tech support but they were not much help.They said I need to call Toshiba support but I do not find any number to call.

Yes, the TV has an ATSC (digital) tuner, as all new TV's do. It will also tune in standard channels if they are available.

no, it does not. actually, I have had it over a year and it has never been used-apparently when the FCC mandated a completely digital signal after Jan. 31, 2009it created a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels so they can be loaded. I also have a Toshiba machine with the same problem. This is a pet gripeof mine-none of the Tivos or cable co. dvrs contain a computer drive like these did; you used to be able to record to the hard drive, and then edit and save to a blank disc if it was something you wanted to archive. The fact that I PAY for cable and can't even do what I want with it makes me nuts! no, it does not. actually, I have had it over a year and it has never been used-apparently when the FCC mandated a completely digital signal after Jan. 31, 2009it created a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels so they can be loaded.

We can't know what Toshiba device you own.... maybe you are talking about a TV! and it won't work at all :)

Absolutely no clue. I don't own a Toshiba TV/DVD. I have a Phillips VCR/DVD combination. Therefore I bought a Phillips remote. I know less than nothing about any other devices.

Absolutely, The Digital Television Tuner has several ways to connect to other components.'Cable in' and 'Cable out' is one way to connect

When I installed my Mini, it downloaded new software saying that it no longer needs a dedicated tuner. My understanding of this is that, when you choose to watch Live TV it will look for an available tuner and use that one. You release the tuner, by switching from Live TV to watching recorded shows.

Steve, I cannot say because I could not find a cable to connect it to the television so I never got it to work the whole time I had it. If you have the Toshiba VCR/DVD combination, this modulator is not necessary. You just run a component cable from the "line out" on the back of the unit to the "component in" on the Directv receiver and it works fine.

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.

I really do not know. The only reason I am responding to this is that you should send it back. I had two of those ... the first was replaced but after 6 months the second one went bad. Amazon did not help since it was after 3 months and Toshiba was absolutely no help. Hopefully you have better luck. I am surprised it does not say on the TV itself.

Can you tell me what exactly worked? I just started looking into buying this television and am not following your blog. It would make me crazy if I had this problem because I've always had it with my Toshiba Plasma, which I'm replacing.

Here's my lo-tech response: The tuner takes a digital over-the-air (OTA) TV signal and sends it to a TV that is not equipped with a digital tuner. Usually, a digital antenna is connected to the tuner and then the tuner is connected to the TV. Most SMART TVs these days have a built in digital tuner, so this tuner is often used with older TVs that don't have a built in tuner. In my case, I use this tuner to grab over the air HD TV signals and connect the tuner to a projector for showing outdoor sports games. If you do this, you will also likely need an AV receiver as a middle device for sound. Hope this helps.
