Archos TV Plus has no internal ATSC (digital tv) tuner? Really, Archos, really?

So did you ever solve your tuner problem? I hooked mine to my cable box to record programs that would fill in my cable co. DVR or did you try connecting this to one of the $40 government ATSC to analog boxes?

The device has separate Atsc & Ntsc tuners and I get my digital cable channels with over the air channel numbers. For example, my standard cable delivers ABC as channel 9 in analog and 711 in digital HD. If I want to record this channel it shows up as channel 6.1 which is the over air number. Also, I took another look at the quick start page and it shows both antenna and cable connections.

I only had the dvd player for one day so i can't answer that question. i returned it the day after it arrived because it didn't have an ATSC tuner as advertized. Only PAL & NTSC.

No, mine didn't have any drivers or tv tuner. My system using Windows 7 had no problems recognizing the card though. I downloaded one of the free tuner packages from the Internet. Everything worked fine.

I have not. Only windows 7 64bit. Since my tv provider updated to digital I have not been able to get any channels using this device (as of 11 months ago) and it has been put in a box and forgotten

I use this unit to get "air" digital and record it just fine. No card used, needed or accessible in this unit. It is not a DirecTV or DISH style unit. It is used instead of either of those two .. in my set up. I am not sure what exactly Michael is referring to when he stated "...a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels ..." because mine sees all the local, digital "air" channels. It is not a "satellite" receiver. And it works very well as intended.

It shows up as dts but I had it not work due to menu setting in amp allowing main and set(meaning tv set). turn it to main only and it should work, mine does.

Jordan: Thanks for taking the time to reply: I must admit I knew NONE of the things U mentioned. I think I may try to find a calibration disk, or wud setting up my TV via the THX method set it for all input sources?

Daniel, This unit has two ATSC tuners. I doubt the compatibility between the two systems. I would not recommend this unit, anyway. It has too many faults.

This tv has a ATSC tuner which means it can recieve the new digital tv signal without a seperate tuner box. I hope this helps.

Dear, yes, you need to buy the TV tuners, but please kindly note that this is only for analog TV, so you need check if you do have the signal for analog TV locally.

it has inputs for any sort of video connection, except MHL/hdmi. There is NO tv tuner in the unit, at all.

you either hook it to your HDTV with an ATSC tuner built in or you hook it up to a ATSC set top box

The tuner does not recognize channels based on your tv scan. The channels are based on a predefined database of channels programmed by directv based on zipcode. Try doing the setup over again with a different zip code that is close to the channels you are wanting to view/record. Or just do the setup with a far away zip code and then back to your zip just to sort of smack it into submission.... Just a thought.

Based on my experience, this TV is unable to "interpret" a digital signal (analog only). You will need a QAM tuner if your cable company does not provide a set top box for digital channels.

you need a digital set top converter box it converts ATSC signals TO NTSC analog sinal so your tv can use it you can get a picture if you get digital cable THAT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE A CABLE BOX TOO FLAT SCREEN PANEL TVS HAVE atsc tuners built in i hope that helps

How were you able to determine that it was a faulty tuner and not user error? I am going through the same situation, although it is over the air and not cable. I was told that I could plug in a standard antenna and receive digital as well as HD channels due to the HD tuner. Please educate me in this matter as I am not versed in this matter.
