NO cable box from provider.. How to hook up dvr

[mike8668]

Have cable/internet from our local, 'hometown' company. Requires no cable box and uses built in tuners in tv.
They do not provide a box or cable card. Just tell you that you need a qam equipped tv.

I would like to get a dvr to record shows.
Anything available that i can split into the cable drop and then to a HDMI on the tv?
Same issue was when i was considering a ceiling mounted projector. No tuners...

You buy a standalone QAM tuner -- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ematic-AT102-Digital-TV-HD-Converter-Box-with-LED-Display-and-Recording-Capabilities/54655846

Thanks... It seems everything i searched came up for OTA conversion which i didn't want... That's the latest thing and doesn't seem to highlight the stand alone qam capabilities.

Any DVR with built-in digital tuner specifically QAM capable will do it, and u just hook it up to a splitter like a secondary TV.
