Does this TV have a QAM tuner built in? Thanks.

Although I do not have cable so I don't know for sure, Philips says that there is a QAM tuner built in. See: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?scy=ca

I don't know what that is but if you tell me where I can check to see if it has one I will check for you.

The Philips' site says it does but when it's connected to the dorm cable (which is QAM) some channels work, some work with distortion on the bottom or side, some are so zoomed in you are seeing only a fraction of the screen. The original owner's manual doesn't mention anything about QAM. The TV's software is not upgradeable.

Yes, I'm quite sure it does. But to be certain, if you really must have the QAM tuner, I would recommend you send a query to Vizio support people because the users' manual does not state it one way or the other. Good luck.

yes it has a built in digital tuner. It actually puts out an incredibly nice HD picture.

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.

No, it does not. However, if you get audio/video jacks, which you can get just about any place electronics are sold, then that's not much of a problem at all, because you can hook those jacks up to a TV or cable or satellite box, put it on one of the 2 "line" channels, depending on whether you want to use the front or rear input (L1 is the rear input, L2 is the front input), and use the cable or satellite box to change channels. But the product itself does not have a built-in tuner.

I do not believe it does have a tv tuner. I bought it for a client so I cannot look at it at the moment

Yes, it has an ATSC (QAM) tuner so it can tune in ClearQAM channels. Since it cannot take a CableCARD though, it cannot tune encrypted channels.

Yes, the tv has the required tuner, but you will have to use the stretch or zoom options to fill the entire screen.

Yes, it has a Built-in NTSC/ATSC/Clear QAM tuner. You can check out more of the specs at http://tv.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028923&pathId;=201&page;=10

Some of these models do, some do not and further, some do but it is disabled in a hidden menu. Sorry I cannot be more specific, but I purchased the 50" model and it completely lacked the tuner. Reading some Google search results showed me the answer I gave to you.

Yes, you can hook up a Digital converter box using HDMI or component cables. For me, it is the only way to get HDTV. There is NOT a QAM tuner in this model, so you will only get analog channels when you do the scan for channels. The term "digital" for this TV is misleading in my opinion.

If they are giving you a Cable box fine. But it does not have a QAM Tuner built in, unless they provide you with an external QAM Tuner.

never heard of a QAM tuner, but we have our TV hooked up with Verizon and the picture is great!

No it does not have a tv tuner. It only streams video from xbmc and other android streaming programs.

I see it wrote Atsc/Ntsc/Qam Tuner when it scans for channels it lists them as Analog and Digital and each one has a signal strength listed - QAM is a Cable term for Cable Tuner

No it has digital ATSC and NTSC analog tuners... If you still have analog channels or air or cable you will have to switch between the tuners in the setup. to watch both.
