Integrated digital tuning: Hi all, This may sound dumb but what is this integrated digital tuning feature that my new Toshiba LCD TV has?

I believe it means you can connect an antenna like this one, http://www.channelmasterstore.com/Digital_HDTV_Outdoor_TV_Antenna_p/cm-4221hd.htm, directly to the TV to watch over-the-air HDTV.

This is to watch tv on older Tv's even some LCD's still have analog tuners, its just the way the signal is transmittted, digital is like a manmade signal and analog is like the natural signal, if your tv gets that old black and white static flash then its getting a blank analog signal and u need this, if you just getting a black screen u dont

OMG... I've been looking all over for information like this myself. Seems to be an alien concept.I don't want a TV signal in my house, cable or otherwise. But I'd love to watch movies conveniently. If I knew I could disable the tuner source, I'd buy a nice TV in a heartbeat. Conversely, if I knew I could easily hook up a variety of movie sources to, say, an LCD monitor, I'd do that. But I can't find clear info on either configuration.

I have no idea. I would try calling toshiba they should know, or trying a universal remote.

Ello Peter ... there's a toggle switch on the front of the monitor ... which honestly I've never used, as I've only ever had one device with it. I've either had my PC plugged into the DVI port - or - now - currently - I'm using it as a short term solution till I figure out which tv I'm going to purchase next. Thanks.

My set never had the picture issue prior to the issue of the tv switching off entirely and not coming back on. I tried the side power buttons, and I also called Toshiba customer support whom walked me through holding down the power button and unplugging the tv for a while, etc. They were unable to help, so they directed me to my local repair shop. Called them, they seemed helpful, were supposed to order a new power supply for the TV. Haven't heard back from them...but after leaving the tv unplugged for a day or two, I plugged it back in and its worked ever since like a charm...have no idea what the problem was, but it works now...just hope it stays this way.

If I understand this correctly, True HD is sent to your receiver as a PCM signal, it will appear on screen as PCM multi channel. Eventually the toshiba machines should receive firmware updates to change this, but for now, I think that's correct.

The tuning is digital. It is much easier to use the remote than the buttons on the radio. You have to hold the radio to push the buttons hard enough to get them to work.

I bought a $29.99 Phillips HDMI "All Regions" DVD player recently just for that reason. btw - I bought my Toshiba A2 on eBay for $68. It works great.

This Toshiba TV under menu picture mode or picture setting there is some settings to be change but it wont be called smoothing effect or picture motion the options are more like standard , dynamic theater picture modes. So the user will have to change these to their personal preferences. This is the beset I can do.

You must use RCA video or S-video (best picture quality) from your SAT to the Toshiba. Otherwise you can't use a tunerless unit.

S.C.Thank for the help! I think the swelling in my head has gone down a little...I went ahead and purchased the Toshiba. From what I can gather if I get an HDMI cable, if I calibrate the tv correctly, and if I watch each program in the correct aspect ratio, then I shouldn't have a problem.Thanks again,Matt

Actually, I disagree. I've had this tv for about a year now and every channel/input displays 60Hz. I have yet to see 120 Hz displayed as the frequency. Perhaps its only displaying 60 but utilizing 120? Just my two cents, sir.

I AGREE. I CALLED TOSHIBA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE HD DVD PLAYER IS ESSENTIALLY A COMPUTER, AND THE DELAY IS SIMILAR TO THE BOOT-UP TIME FOR ANY P.C. INSTALLING THE FIRMWARE UPDATE 2.5 DOES IMPROVE THE DELAY SLIGHTLY.

I play DVD's all the time on my TV and have never had an issue with the stock settings. Are you using appropriate HDMI cables for the connection to the TV? Sounds like you have a cable issue, not a TV issue.
