Damon, ATSC tuners re about the same size as the NTSC.. Newer sets will have the one input...the signal will go to the proper path..Quam, DCR, etc. Jeff -- Intrepid Video TV/VCR Repair 263 S Front St, Steelton PA 17113 717-939-7708; (F) 717-564-4952 www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Damon" <damon101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 06, 2004 8:52 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Hitachi 53UWX10BA No video/sound is rushing noise Most HD ready sets have the HD logo on the front of the TV and component inputs on the back for the Y-Pr-PB signal...or DVI too. HD sets have the ATSC tuners...which is a large sattelite-box-sized assembly jammed into the back of the set, it's pretty obvious when you see one. Those are due out in 2006 on......Is it all models?? Or the 27" or 30" and above?? Another confusing point thanks to the FCC's wording.
