[opendtv] Re: New Thread: What becomes of Legacy Analog Equipment

Yes, as I posted today the inexpensive Visio TV appears to have very good ATSC reception. And as I posted here when I got it, it also receives all my unencrypted HD QAM channels of Cox cable. And it's neat to see Sam's advertising you can really do something useful with a TV antenna. Good for them! (I even have a roof top rotor)
But I have two PCHD cards because I use them for auto timer recording and Tivo-like pause/trick play when using my PC. And on the PC even when watching live I shrink it to a small window and web browse forums like AVS or read the opendtv list during commercials.
So while I keep raving about the tuner in my new TV I never actually use the darn thing. Native TV (even HD) is totally 20th century. ;-)

I have no idea what tuner or demod the TV has and mostly just use it for QAM HD cable through a card in my PC, plus as a big PC display. 


You might want to ditch the QAM PC card.  From the Sam's Club website:
<http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?catg=535&item=354180&prDeTab=2&pCatg=5883#A>
"Built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner allows you to receive over-the-air HD, digital and analog broadcast with an external antenna or Clear QAM channels on your cable"
