I have spent the last two weeks trying to find an external TV tuner that is ready for the digital TV next February. I have searched all over the internet. I am also looking for a stand alone tuner. I have found analog standalone's. I have found digital usb tuners. But I have not found a digital standalone. I gave in and ordered a $40 coupon from dtv.gov so that I can buy a digital converter and use the analog tuner. Hope this helps! Dave

Hello, I'm trying to connect via RF cable to a prima edtv with an NTSC tuner. I can get sound but no picture (not even the guide). Am I missing a setting on my tv or something? TV works fine with DVDs etc. Can one of the experts help?

It should have a DVI to VGA cable included with it. The cable isn't very long so you'll have get the tuner close to your TV.

I can tell you that the output of the Geffen digital to analog converter, currently in my system, has ZERO propagation delay - IT IS IN SYNC WITH THE VIDEO... The ONLY item I would caution you on is - every "once-in-a-while" DIRECT TV's digital box will output a "glitch" on its DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT - this manifests itslf as a POP (quite loud) in my audio stream... This COULD cause some discomfort to you with your hearing aides... FYI...

The previous answer is not quite 100% correct. This unit does have an ANALOG tuner, which will no longer work with today's over-the-air digital high definition broadcasts. The tuner will work with basic, unencrypted, analog cable, but that's it.

Just short USB cable. If your cable company is all digital, I do not believe this will work. It might work if you place it on the out (TV) port of your digital device. I no longer use USB tuners because I put a Ceton card in a PC to build a HTPC with Media Center and Win 7.

No...if you have an older TV that doesn't have a digital tuner, you need a converter..but you don't get them from the cable company...you buy em...newer digital TVs will work with just a direct hook up.

The function of this converter is to make a digital signal into an analog signal. We no longer have this converter because we have digital TVs now. I do not believe we used the unit as a tuner. I believe we did the channel Tunis through the TV.

I only use one of the tuners for my Silicon Dust tuner and that works perfect to see HD TV from a computer monitor;you must pay for a media card from your cable company, about $2 a month. The other two can be for game consoles, media players or any DLNA compatible device.

OMG... I've been looking all over for information like this myself. Seems to be an alien concept.I don't want a TV signal in my house, cable or otherwise. But I'd love to watch movies conveniently. If I knew I could disable the tuner source, I'd buy a nice TV in a heartbeat. Conversely, if I knew I could easily hook up a variety of movie sources to, say, an LCD monitor, I'd do that. But I can't find clear info on either configuration.

only if you have an analog, older style tv. Recently sold tvs have digital tuners already built-in... and this plugs directly into the back of the tv.

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??

Sorry, no. The unit DOES NOT have a digital/HD tuner. Broadcast TV that you receive via antenna is now all HD. I made the mistake of not asking about that before I bought the unit myself and found out the hard way. It may work with a digital TV converter box. Good luck.

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.

Yes, it works with digital just fine, including digital audio tracks on Blu-Ray, and that's why I bought this one. If it's multichannel, it'll obviously be mixed down to stereo, but it definitely works. My TV simply does a pass-thru of digital, which is why I had to spend a little more and get this rather than a cheaper analog only converter. Just in case you don't know, you'll also need to have optical-out on your TV/Device and an optical cable to use this.

Thanks for the kind response. Unfortunately, none of the efforts resulted in this TV to scan all digital and analog channels under the same "digital and analog channel search" function.Amazon.com support was excellent in sending a new replacement with just a simple phone call, as this unit apparently has a faulty tuner.
