How do I tell if my HDTV has a built in HDTV Tuner?

[Cattlegod]

I want to get over the air HD (currently not subscribed to any cable or TV service) and I need to know if I can just plug the antenna into the back or if I have to shell out some cash for a box.

I currently don't think it has a built in HDtuner. Any way to check? Model - HL-P5063W X/XAA

Thanks.

I did a Google search and im 99% sure that TV doesnt have an HD tuner , The spec you're looking for is ATSC Tuner ,It's usualy a seperate input on the TV.

This page shows it only having an NTSC tuner:

Not a bad looking unit, but not a HD tuner, just the old analog for over the air and the first about 100 old analog cable channels. So yes you can just plug in an antenna, but no its not going to be HD, just SD.

My guess is soon enough you will be paying monthy to cable or satellite for HD content.
