Does this tv have a Qam tuner?

Yes it does. No DTA converter box is required for this TV. I connected the TV to a cable connection, selected the auto tune feature and in a few minutes the TV had located all the channels. Selecting channels on the QAM tuner is confusing because you have to use the dash button on the remote. For example on some TV's 106.1 can be typed 1061 and the TV will find it. However on the Samsung you have to type 106-1. If that feature does not bother you it is a nice TV.

*Integrated ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuners as far as the sleep timer I have not seen documentation showing it does or does not but I believe it does.

I'm not sure what a QAM tuner is but my tv works fine with analog cable plugged in.

Yes, but it is an analog tuner only. It doesn't pick up digital TV signals.

The HDHomeRun can either receive clear Qam or ATSC over the air. If the output from your cable box, is a digital TV signal, clear Qam, output by 75 ohm cable, then it will only tune the channel the cable box is outputting. Hope this helps.

I have no idea what a QAM Tuner is. But I did not have to have one to use my TV. So you should not need one.

FMQR: This TV does NOT support QAM under TV tuner. The FMDR has a QAM Tuner. Compare: http://www.sceptre.com

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.

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.

Both T220 (no tuner) and T220HD (ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuner) models, as well as ALL current-model Samsung widescreen digital monitors have HDCP decoding.

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.

This is a tuner designed to receive over the air or QAM cable broadcast signals. There is no current broadcast signal that goes over 1080i or 720p and no tuner is able to deliver 1080p. Also, the connections on the back are only coax and s-vhs and neither can do 1080p

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.

Yes. It has it's own built in digital tuner. All you need is a direct feed from a antenna or cable. However, most providers are shifting over to digital signals that require their decoder box in order to view those channels. So your available channels are limited to channels that have not been converted by the cable or satellite company yet. Antenna reception will pick up any broadcast digital signal. Hope that helps.
