Does the TV have an input for off-the-air HD channels, and a tuner?

Yes, there is a coaxial RF input for connecting an external antenna. The built in tuner will pick up both analog and digital (HD) over-the-air broadcasts.

I don't use the tuner as I get input from my DirecTV box. However, as I look at the specs, it has a PAL-BGH tuner. In you search wikipedia for this tuner, it appears to be analog not digital.

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.

It has a coxaial input spot where the antenna goes. You could probably replace the antenna with a cable line. It doesn't have an high def port (hdmi) although it picks up high def signals through it's antenna. I bought a better antenna (Artec HDTV Flat Antenna)for this tv to improve it's reception.

No, it does not. However, if you get audio/video jacks, which you can get just about any place electronics are sold, then that's not much of a problem at all, because you can hook those jacks up to a TV or cable or satellite box, put it on one of the 2 "line" channels, depending on whether you want to use the front or rear input (L1 is the rear input, L2 is the front input), and use the cable or satellite box to change channels. But the product itself does not have a built-in tuner.

I don't know because the whole system didn't work for me so I sent it back. My impression is though that it does work w/ HD TV.

Not sure what you would need a 'tuner' for ....this unit hooks up fast to TV's

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.

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

No, there is no tuner. I use with my Satellite box. It does come with an IR blaster so that you can change channels remotely.

The tuner box does have a HDMI output, so it will work with newer HDTVs. The tuner box will work by picking up digital channels from "over-the-air (ATSC)" or "unencrypted digital cable (Clear QAM)" and use it to record HD TV shows. It will not pick up the analog TV channels (NTSC) from cable. This tuner box also has a media player build-in that can play back the recorded videos.

Not as far as I can tell. I would still need the digital tuner now required for antenna tv. All channels are currently static.

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

No, no tuner. We utilize our cable box (Directv, non-HD) for the tuner. This is a second TV, so we just have the basics on this unit

Basically, yes. I'd use the DVI port and save the HDMI for something else. You'd need to hook up the stereo audio for that. Or just use the adapter included and run HDMI. Now you'll be able to tune in off-air channels.

I can tell you that it has an ATSC tuner. I am able to take OTA digital channels broadcast by local television stations and output to HDMI (video and audio). I do not have a QAM signal to test on.

No it doesn't have a built in tuner. I believe they have an external box for off-air services.
