Does this tv have a QAM tuner? My daughter's dorm room requires a tv with it...

Yes it does. Make sure to run the channel scan (on what ever TV you end up with) so TV can register available channels.

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

Mine didn't. I don't use this tv much because the reception of stations is terrible (two channels at the most I get)... but maybe that's because of where I live here in Indiana. I don't know.

If you have cable without a cable box, you will need a QAM tuner which this TV does not have.

I assume you are asking if this TV has a built in digital tuner to receive off the air broadcasts.Yes, it certainly does! That is how I receive my TV channels. It does an excellent job of tuningTV broadcasts right off the air. Best of all, these broadcasts are free. No cable or satellite bills.

It only comes with a power brick and cord. If she is using cable tv, they usually provide a coax cord for her. If she has free tv in the dorm, you may or may not need a coax cable--as the school may not provide them... If so, they are short money at any hardware store. The TV never ends up where we think it will be so maybe hold off on buying that cord until she gets setup in the room?? 5 feet could turn into 20, LOL!! Just my 2 cents!!

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 has both a QAM tuner, used for digital cable tuning, and an ATSC tuner, for digital over-the-air antenna broadcasts. No it is not an Amazon screw-up. It is the mfg, if anyone, QAM is not on the box. Most people don't know or care what the technical name is for tuner types. They want to know if it is digital period. Another hidden piece of information; standard digital DVD players and recorders are not HD (high definition) 720 or 1080 resolution. They are SD (standard defintion) 480 only. DVDs that internally convert the 480 signal to fit an HDTV 16:9 wide screen is why you will see 1080p upconversion plastered all over DVD player boxes. No better picture(higher resolution) is gained in upconverted process. It is still a 480 lower quality standard definition picture. Only BlueRay Players/Recorders can play/record in true HD 1080i resolution. There are BlueRay recorders on the market now, but they are expensive and do not have HD Tuners I don't believe.

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?

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

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

I do not know what a QAM tuner is . My oCOSMO TV works beautifully . Upon arrival we plugged it in and have been using it since. No special equipment needed.

To be 100% honest we don't have it connected to any kind of cable or dish we only use it in my daughters room with dvd's, sorry!

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation tuner is a device that allows television sets to receive digital channels. QAM tuners can be used in conjunction with a set top box or "cable box," or by itself to receive unscrambled digital channels such as public access channels, basic channels, local broadcast channels, and cable radio channels.

Richard Salter,It sure does. The UN32H5500 has a digital tuner included for Over The Air broadcasts.Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions.--Mr. S

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.
