What is Integrated ATSC tv tuner?
Hi, An ATSC tuner works by generating audio and video signals that are picked up from over the air TV broadcasts. ATSC tuners provide the following functions: demodulation, transport stream demultiplexing, decompression, error correction, analog to digital conversion, AV synchronization and media reformatting to fit the specific type of TV screen optimally. If it's integrated, that would mean that it's integrated into the system. If you have a digital tuner, it's probably safe to say that you have an ATSC tuner. Hope that helps, Cubby
What is a built-in ntsc atsc qam digital tuner?
An NTSC/ATSC/QAM digital tuner, in the case of a TV, means that the TV supports the NTSC, ATSC, and QAM broadcast standards with its included tuner. NTSC is the old analog over-the-air (OTA) standard, ATSC is the newer digital over-the-air supporting High Definition video and Dolby Digital AC3 audio, and QAM means that the TV can decode digital cable signals without a set-top box. My internet research indicates that QAM will receive unencrypted broadcasts only. While encrypted channels varies by geography, it seems that most cable stations are encrypted while major networks are not. So, best I've determined, is that if you want more than just the major networks in high def you still need the set-top box or Cablecard.
Time Warner Cable has a 9 dollars and 99 cent deal how many channels are provided I live in the El Paso area?
It will only be your local channels, nothing else. If this "basic" package stayed at $9.99 for the next couple of years, I'd recommend it. Knowing Time Warner they'll jack the price up after a year to $20-25. All of these channels you can get for free with an antenna and a TV with an ATSC tuner or a digital converter box on your TV without an ATSC tuner.
