it has a qam and off air hdtv tuner but only one or the other not 2 tuners that can be used at once but if you get a combiner then in reality i would think when u scan it will find both if thats ur question.. look on their website for the manual it should explain that because i no longer have it since its sold..

Hello, I queried this myself with Grace Digital before purchase and discovered that the 800 is a later model than the 200 and is 'Control 4' compliant. As far as I understand it this allows you to to control the unit over a local network and allows 2-way communication with the unit, however I am no expert on this and have not used the feature myself so you should research further if you are interested. In all other respects the two units are identical and mine works well as an Internet radio. I found that actually the 800 was being retailed slightly cheaper than the earlier 200 as well so of course I bought the 800. Hope that helps.

I don't have this card, so I can't reply to your exact question. However, broadcast HD channels are sent using QAM over digital cable, whereas this card has an ATSC (over-the-air) digital tuner. Two different ways of compressing a digital signal.

Make SURE you have the seller test the ATSC tuner, as well as the satellite tuner before shipping out the receiver. I have read reviews that the ATSC tuner is bad, and I experienced the same thing when I got my first box. But once I requested a return, the seller tested BOTH tuners prior to shipping, and now I have an AWESOME box! The only setback is that I had to pay an additional $15 to ship the defective box back. But the seller did compensate me with a free additional remote control, so it was not a total loss. I am VERY HAPPY with my current Linkbox 8000HD Local. Like I said earlier, just make sure the seller tests everything prior to shipping. Make SURE you have the seller test the ATSC tuner, as well as the satellite tuner before shipping out the receiver.

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.

Thanks Bob; after much research your post was the only entry where i saw hope. I was on the phone with Sony, Comcast, Motorola and couldn't come up with a solution. I was on the phone with Comcast when your post hit and I read it to them and they said it would work, but they said instead of using 31759 , they had me enter 1758. I don't have to hit / toggle the AUX / CABLE button at all. After doing what you said and entering 1758, my Comcast remote works for all functions on the TV (channel change, volume, on/off, etc.). When I turn on/off the DVR/TV via the ALL ON button, it turns on/off the soundbar also. It's great ! Thanks a million ! Thanks Bob; after much research your post was the only entry where i saw hope.

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

I'm quite sure it is a digital tuner though I am not positive. I have it at another site and will be at that site on Saturday. I could check for you. Let me know. It works very very well. And the price is simply unbeatable.

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.

It has a QAM tuner which is what's required by most providers for direct connect, bypassing the cable box. You will not get premium channels, nor the station guide. And most providers will only supply unscrambled those channels that are available over-the-air. I use this successfully with FIOS TV.

The device has separate Atsc & Ntsc tuners and I get my digital cable channels with over the air channel numbers. For example, my standard cable delivers ABC as channel 9 in analog and 711 in digital HD. If I want to record this channel it shows up as channel 6.1 which is the over air number. Also, I took another look at the quick start page and it shows both antenna and cable connections.

i'm sorry craig, i have no idea as i don't have digital radio. i can only tell you that it does a great job at what it does and so far has not affected the quality of my HDTV picture, HD-DVR functions or my Highspeed Internet Access. i have done a speed test almost everyday with no issues. best of luck to you.

the unit has a tuner, but, it's not digital, please consult your owners manual. or, contact the manufacturer for other questions, possibly your cable provider could answer these questions more throughly also. my unit performs great....good luck with yours.

I do not know what a QAM tuner is . My oCOSMO TV works beautifully . Upon arrival we plugged it in and have been using it since. No special equipment needed.

Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself. I switched the tv back to analog and turned on the DR560. The channels came in the same as my dtv or converter box I use on another tv. I would think it has to do with the Input as someone already answered. I am hooked up with the RCA jacks from the dvd to tv. You might want to try the RF Modulator if you don't have the jacks. That's one reason I purchased a new TV. Also, someone wrote about the clock being an issue after Feb. 17th. I checked the manual and it does allow you to manually set the clock, so hopefully this will not be an issue. Hope this helps. Good Luck Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself.

No, even though it's supposed to. The prior (one-tuner) model does though. The company has spent almost a half year trying to get the Clear QAM functionality working on this model with no luck. Sorry.

Although I do not have cable so I don't know for sure, Philips says that there is a QAM tuner built in. See: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?scy=ca
