There are several scenarios for using an externa TV tuner box. The first is if the Tuner box has a coax output (for channel 3 or 4) and the TV can be tuned to that channel it can be used in place of the TVs internal tuner. An example is if the UHF tuner is out (channels 14-69) it can be used to receive those channels. If the TV tuners VHF (2-13) and UHF (14-69) are out and the TV has an AV input (yellow-white and or red) the TV tuner box can be used to receive the antenna channels. Similarly the TV tuner box can usually also be set to receive cable TV channels by changing a switch on the box or changing a setting in a setup screen on the TV tuner box. The second instance (and this will become more important as we near the FCC analog signal cutoff date of Feb 17, 2009). All analog signals will be cut off on that date. Older TVs that do not also have the ATSC or QAM tuners in them will not receive antenna or digital cable signals. Many TVs sold after around May 2006 to present have those tuners built in. Virtually all HDTVs sold after that time will have them. The TV tuner boxes are available now, but generally are in the $150.00 - $200.00 price range. As we get closer to January 2008 we will see more of these offered in the market and will likely be much less expensive $40.00 - $50.00 range. The Federal Government has a program for issuing $40.00 vouchers for such TV tuner boxes and each family will be alloted up to two. Many consumer electronics shops and stores will have the boxes and be able to redeem the vouchers.

When using a converter descrambler box in conjunction with a TV set the TV set tuner is normally set to?
When using a converter descrambler box with a TV set, the TV set tuner is typically set to the "line" or "AV" input mode. This allows the TV to receive the processed signal from the converter box rather than trying to tune into a specific broadcast channel. The converter box decodes and unscrambles the signal, which is then sent directly to the TV for viewing.

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.
Can you connect TV anthena to a lcd monitor and watch TV?
No, you can't do this because you need a TV tuner to select the channel. (Note, that if you have cable TV it may be possible to connect your cable box to your monitor. This depends on what outputs the cable box has.) For a desk top computer you can add a tuner board and for a laptop or a desktop machine you can buy a tuner that plugs into a USB port (make sure that the software that comes with the tuner will work on your machine.) Prices run from about $50 and up. Be careful, there are still some analog only tuners on the market -- they will no longer work in most parts of the world. Remember that if you buy a tuner, you will still need an antenna.
