Does it have a integrated QAM tuner? Can anyone tell me? I called Amazon, they got no idea :(

Great. Thank you! Did you get a chance to ask them why L32D1120 is now shown on their website? It's weird.
1636717
Now shows L32F1120. Sounds like newer revs of the same TV. Wonder what the differences are. (?)

I am still confused. But I have ordered one and will get it tomorrow. I am gonna have a look and post here. If this TV doesn't have a QAM tuner (what an insane design), I will return it immediately.

Sorry, no QAM tuner. Only ATSC and NTSC. The product manual for the L32F1120 is the same manual for this particular model.http://www.haieramerica.com/downloads/dl/file/id/258/l32f1120_manual.pdf

Thank you Cihon. But are you sure? This webpage says "Integrated QAM Tuner Yes".http://www.haieramerica.com/electronics/televisions/32-lcd-hdtv-l32f1120under "specification" tab

Thanks, Cihon. I was about to order one for my kitchen, but digital cable is the only programming source there, so a QAM tuner is a necessity.

I called Haier customer support. They said this model does have a QAM tuner :)

Exactly. Thanks Zhou. I was about to post this link. According to this page it does have QAM tuner.

A QAM tuner is for digital cable NOT over the air broadcasts, almost all over the air broadcasts have gone to ATSC digital. This TV will accept UNENCRYPTED cable signals

I have the same question. Can someone answer please. Amazon are you hearing?

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

There is firmware to correct some bugs. It worked out of box, but occasionally required reboot. Only works with FTA channels.

We didn't anything extra to operate our TV. I don't know what a QAM tuner is.

This TV does not have a QAM Tuner built in, that is for digital channels. You need a box to receive channels from your cable co. or any box that receives signal. you can use antenna, use adaptor to plug into the DT plug on back. you then have to go to menu and set up scan to see what channels you can get. hope this helps !

You can connect the cable antenna directly to this tuner and it will receive the QAM channels that your cable company puts on the cable. Some do and some don't. Ours does. So do not need to rent a box from the cable company. Only is any good if your cable company has open QAM

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.

It will only work with channels that are not encrypted (a.k.a. clear QAM channels). Most paid channels are encrypted and thus will not work with this tuner.

It cannot tune OTA (which uses 8VSB). It can do unencrypted QAM. Traditionally, you have had to insert a CableCard for the initial setup, then you could remove the card and continue getting ClearQAM channels. With newer firmware, it has been implied that you can setup for ClearQAM without a CableCard, but I'm not sure everyone has been successful.

I am not sure what type of tuner does the TV has. According to CNET it has an ATSC digital tuner.http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/vizio-m3d470kde/4540-6482_7-35508036-4.htmlAnd according to this page below, ATSC is not the same as QAM.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_built-in_ntsc_atsc_qam_digital_tunerI have not had any problems with the built-in tuner. But I have connected it through the Cox HD box only. I can't give you a better answer since I do not know much about digital tuners. The specs document does not tell specifically (or I do not know how to interpret the info to tell)http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/VIZIO-M3D470KDE.htmBy the way, VIZIO sent a firmware update and now I can see movies on netflix!

But only unscrambled QAM cable signals. This is only part of what Comcast and Time Warner send out, usually channels in the very basic cable service

I use this from my cable feed and receive qam channels only. These are all of the network channels and a few cable channels.

It'll record from a cable box, but 'not sure about QAM. The N50 is very old technology, so I doubt it. 'Suggest you contact Sony.

sounds like it was subject to some digital coding comcast made a change recently too, all digital related basic cable users now have to rent a qam tuner I would call verizon tech support
