Hello!
This is my first time buying a TV for my apartment and had some questions regarding the dtv converter boxes that the government gave out coupons for years ago.
This is the TV in question. It does say it has HDMI in and composite video/audio in, but just wanted to make sure it would work with the dtv converter boxes as well as a hdmi cable from my pc to the TV.
And just to clear things up, the dtv converter boxes will enable me to scan my local area for free local channels, right?
For example, this one from Amazon.
If you guys have a suggestions for what converter box to get, that would be appreciated as well!
Thanks!
P.S. Also, since the tv is 16:9 widescreen, how will the channels from the converter box look on the screen?
P.S.S. I just read this from a website:
"The government is requiring TV manufacturers to include built-in tuners that can pick up OTA HDTV, starting with bigger (36+-inch) TVs in 2005. Soon this lack of tuners won't be a problem."
Does this mean the tv I linked above will be able to do the same thing as a dtv converter box? (since it seems to have been released in 2006)
