Is this unit cable-ready? No mention of a QAM tuner.

Sorry, I looked and found out that I was wrong. This one only has the connection for QAM tuner.

Yes, it has an ATSC (QAM) tuner so it can tune in ClearQAM channels. Since it cannot take a CableCARD though, it cannot tune encrypted channels.

Yes, this unit has a QAM tuner but you can not view scrambled channels. Basically you will receive local channels, shopping channels and some channels such as RT the Russian propaganda channel.

I don't know what you really mean cable ready. This is a smart TV. It has a RJ45 input for Internet or for wireless dongle. There are inputs for cable tv and other equipments.

never heard of a QAM tuner, but we have our TV hooked up with Verizon and the picture is great!

Yes, there is a cable input and selection on the input menu. In my case, my cable receiver box connects to this cable input.

Thanks, Cihon. I was about to order one for my kitchen, but digital cable is the only programming source there, so a QAM tuner is a necessity.

I'm guessing you're in a menu that allows you to select a source for your incoming signal. If so, it looks like it may be set to CABLE. You will want to switch or select ANTENNA.

I called Haier customer support. They said this model does have a QAM tuner :)

it has a qam and off air hdtv tuner but only one or the other not 2 tuners that can be used at once but if you get a combiner then in reality i would think when u scan it will find both if thats ur question.. look on their website for the manual it should explain that because i no longer have it since its sold..

FMQR: This TV does NOT support QAM under TV tuner. The FMDR has a QAM Tuner. Compare: http://www.sceptre.com

I do not know what a QAM tuner is . My oCOSMO TV works beautifully . Upon arrival we plugged it in and have been using it since. No special equipment needed.

Yes. As long as you have a cable box with a composite or component output. You see, the one thing they fail to mention is that since it has no tuner of its own they neglected to install the standard RF connections.

It does not have QAM tuner for cable. However, as long as you have an indoor antenna connected to the machine, you will view most of local channels. The reason I purchased this machine is to avoid paying huge monthly cable bills.

A QAM tuner enables you to receive digital cable channels without the need of a set top box. This TV will support Over-The-Air (OTA) and analog cable connections (such as the service you would get in rooms without a cable box when you pay for basic cable). Hope this helps!

There is a normal coax cable connection. One setup issue I remember is that you have to set the input during initial setup.

It has a QAM tuner which is what's required by most providers for direct connect, bypassing the cable box. You will not get premium channels, nor the station guide. And most providers will only supply unscrambled those channels that are available over-the-air. I use this successfully with FIOS TV.

Yes. It is both an ATSC and QAM tunner. It does not however support NTSC. If your have a "clear" digital cable or digital over the air signal it will tune it.

I can tell you that it has an ATSC tuner. I am able to take OTA digital channels broadcast by local television stations and output to HDMI (video and audio). I do not have a QAM signal to test on.
