Hi,
Sometime next year ALL broadcast TV stations with STD NTSC both VHF/UHF Channel
Tuners will be unusable as Digital Tuners take over.and the stations are taken off the
air!
1 > The ANT you have is a INTERNAL TV top version,a mini rooftop ANT,rabbit ears
don,t work as well. You would need to install an OUTSIDE ANT for HDTV unless
you have stations close to your location!
2 > Cable TV is Analog and is NOT usable on the digital Tuner,maybe later Cable will
change,But since one uses a BOX in most cases to get more channels,the
convertion to Digital will be via the cable box,even though it IS digital and has
HDTV it is still backward linked to the old Tuner setup and can be used directly via
S-vhs,Component(HDTV) and composite.So connecting the Digital tuner to the
cable is NOT advisable,it will not work on that connector,But it will work on the
other and will continue to work after the Stations go off the air,at least untill new
cable boxes come out that support the new tuners,that will prob be many years!
Cheers Dennis
