To get more channels on an SDTV tuner, you can try rescanning for channels, which can be done through the TV's menu settings. Ensure you have a good-quality antenna, as this can significantly improve reception and allow access to more channels. Additionally, consider adjusting the antenna's position for optimal signal strength. If you're still not getting enough channels, you might need to upgrade to a better antenna or consider using a digital converter box.
Go to the tuner menu and change the setting to UHF/VHF.
Hi, If you can go to your user's menu on the TV and do a search for digital channels (as compared to analog channels) then you have an ATSC tuner. Cubby
The radio is what receives the signal. The tuner is what changes the channels.
Yes.
Generally not. The signal is of a different type but you can get a set top box converter to downgrade the signal to SDTV levels. They're costly (Around $200, give or take) and you might just be better off using that money for a digital set.
i have suddenlink cable but i disconnect my cable from tv and know i cant program it back it picking up only pay view channels
You will need an antenna and a HDTV with a tuner built in. You will then get your local channels in HD.
The tuner allows you to record from multiple channels, i.e. record from Channel 12 at 9:00, then from Channel 23 at 10:00. "Tunerless" DVRs rely on something like a cable box to change the channels.
A USB TV tuner is a TV tuner card that connects to a computer via the USB port. First you need to connect the tuner, then connect satellite or antenna to the tuner. Usually you need install the driver on your computer. After those you can scan channels on your computer. http://www.pctvshop.com/dvbs2-usb-tv-tuner-qbox-iii-p-31.html
It depends on the set you are watching on and your cable service. If you have a cable service that sends in all channels, digital and analog, without the need for a set top box, then you can get all the channels available if your DVR and television both have digital tuners built into them. If your DVR does not have a digital tuner, it will only be able to pick up the standard channels and not the "virtual" channels available through digital service (i.e. 8.1 or 17.4, etc.). If the DVR does have a digital tuner, but you are still watching on an old analog CRT television set, then you won't be able to watch the virtual channels while the DVR is recording, since the old TV won't pick up those in between channels. So, the answer is, if you have a set with a digital tuner, and a DVR with a digital tuner, you will be able to watch any channel while recording any other channel, as long as they are not encoded. If one of the two does not have a digital tuner, then your watching selection will be limited to what it can pick up.
cannot change channels on vcr/dvd
TV tuner cards are hardware add-ons for personal computers. By installing one inside a PC, the computer can be configured to pick up television channels. They also frequently allow users to capture video from television programs.
