Can a television bought in Hong Kong with a DMB-TH integrated digital tuner be used in the USA which uses a ATSC digital broadcast system?
SteveMiska
The tuners are not compatible but other inputs to the television are likely to be compatible. You will need to check that the television can operate on 115V. Hong Kong uses 230V. The information panel on the rear of the television will say what voltages it requires.
Also, check that the television is capable of handling NTSC / 60Hz signals. Hong Kong is a PAL / 50Hz region so you will need to confirm that the television will accept North American content.
If the voltage ad video capabilities are compatible, the television will work with satellite or cable receivers and terrestrial digital tuners as well as DVD and BluRay players.

When everything goes digital, how will I know if my television will work?
All televisions sold after March 1, 2007 include a digital tuner (by law) so you are good if you have bought a TV since then. If your television is labeled as �Integrated Digital Tuner,� �Digital Tuner Built-In,� �Digital Receiver,� �Digital Tuner,� �DTV,� �ATSC,� or �HDTV� then it has a built in device that will be fine after Feb. 17, 2009. If your television set is labeled as a �Digital Monitor� or �HDTV Monitor,� or as �Digital Ready� or �HDTV Ready,� this does not mean it actually contains a digital tuner. All this means is this TV is capable of handling the converter box. Thus, you still will likely need a separate set-top box which contains a digital tuner in order to view over-the-air digital programming.

If you have network tv on demand it costs a pretty penny so how come they disable the fast forward controls?
This is a source of frustration for many viewers, but there is a business reason for it (and a reason you may not agree with). TV networks make their money from selling commercial advertising, so they have an agreement with various of the providers (including On Demand) to make it difficult or impossible to fast-forward past the commercials. Some networks, sensing that viewers are upset by this, have begun to offer programs with "limited commercial interruptions," but you still can't avoid the commercials.Some of us still remember when the broadcast TV channels (2-13 usually) were free: you bought a TV, and then you watched those channels. By the late 1970s, cable channels became more widely available, but you had to pay for access to those channels (like CNN or HBO). But these days, things are very different and you need to pay for the use of the cable box, in order to see the programs on any of the channels, whether on the broadcast band or the cable band. There are some services that are trying to provide free access via the internet, but at this point, such options are limited.ANSWER:Actually you can still get the broadcast channels free with a digital antenna. It is still the law that to broadcast on the airwaves for free, networks must provide two things - informational programming (the news) free of charge, and to transmit their channels openly. Cable uses satellites and doesn't transmit using public frequencies so they don't have those restrictions. If you cannot get your local stations using a digital antenna on your roof or just on your TV due to trees or mountains in the way, that is not considered the fault of the broadcasting station and therefore you may have to get cable after all.
