Yes, there is a digital TV tuner. We only receive OTA signals and use the internet for all else.

Well yes it does. I have a Phillips HD amplified antenna hooked to the rear antenna connection. I live approx. 27 miles from the center of Atlanta. I get razor sharp images of all the network and independent channels on my set.

Yes, this HDTV has its own digital tuner. I know it does because I have both Comcast hd box hooked up to it AND I also have a Phillips HD amplified 22 mile rated outdoor antenna run to it as well. I live 27 miles from city center of Atlanta. I get razor sharp image of ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and all the independent channels as well.

If you have a television that already has a digital and an analogue tuner in it, do you still need a converter box for this?

Can I hook up a regular converter box to this t.v. and get my local channels? I ordered this t.v. and I do not have cable or any paid services.

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.

It has a digital tuner, so you can hook this directly to an antenna and pick up local over the air HD channels

Hi Ronald, No, the TV does not need to be HD, but the TV Tuner must be a Digital Tuner. A Regular TV Antenna hooked up to a Digital TV Tuner will also pick up TV Stations. But Newer TVs with a better HD TV Tuner would be your best bet rather than older models.

What kind of converter box? As far as I know, there is no way to connect this TV to a regular antenna.

It is a digital TV and has a digital tuner built in. You do not need a converter box. An antenna can be connected directly via a coaxial cable.

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.

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

Pretty much all modern TVs have built-in turners now, including digital channel tuners. For digital reception you just need to get a digital rabbit ear style receiver. Otherwise with cable you just need to plug in the cable without a box.

It requires a cable/satellite box for viewing over the air content. There is no built in tuner.

The Antenna will still work, there is no difference between a digital and Analog antenna, but you will still need a digital tuner, either built into you tv, or a seperate convertor box.

Yes but you need a converter for antenna tv because it has a internal digital copyright block for it's tuner.
