Does this Visio tv have a built in tuner?

Yes, as far as I know. All TV's have a built in tuner. Otherwise they are just a monitor

no it does not. the tuner in the unit is an analog tuner. i have a digital adapter from the cable company that converts the signal so i can record a cable channel. the only drawback is you can only record the channel the adapter is currently tuned into and for any further recording you have to manually change the tuner to another channel.

No, this is just a simple audio/video distribution amplifier. It does not tune in TV, Radio, cable, or anything else.

No, Ryan, it does not have a TV tuner. It has a TV indicator light on the bottom-left of the frame, which tells me that we may be able to add a tuner, but I've not tried. I hope this helps.

no, it does not. actually, I have had it over a year and it has never been used-apparently when the FCC mandated a completely digital signal after Jan. 31, 2009it created a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels so they can be loaded. I also have a Toshiba machine with the same problem. This is a pet gripeof mine-none of the Tivos or cable co. dvrs contain a computer drive like these did; you used to be able to record to the hard drive, and then edit and save to a blank disc if it was something you wanted to archive. The fact that I PAY for cable and can't even do what I want with it makes me nuts! no, it does not. actually, I have had it over a year and it has never been used-apparently when the FCC mandated a completely digital signal after Jan. 31, 2009it created a situation where the tuner does not "see" channels so they can be loaded.

Yes, this HDTV has its own digital tuner. I know it does because I have both Comcast hd box hooked up to it AND I also have a Phillips HD amplified 22 mile rated outdoor antenna run to it as well. I live 27 miles from city center of Atlanta. I get razor sharp image of ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and all the independent channels as well.

Yes, but it is an analog tuner only. It doesn't pick up digital TV signals.

Yes, it does. It also includes Avermedia's TV Tuner software and a dongle to connect an antenna or RF cable. I purchased a cheap antenna, but was unable to get an Over The Air (OTA) programming. I dont know if that is due to the hilly area I live in or quality of the TV tuner. I think it was my area. I'll try to connect an old VCR and post an update.

Nope...nothing like that to report here; picture quality remains good. Sadly, it still sports a slow and mediocre tuner (I don't use a cable box) and the Vizio Apps, which I had assumed would grow to include more top shelf streaming options and a browser option, continues to disappoint.

Yes. Just hook and HDMI cable to it. I have a Visio TV too. However, the player... It has an excellent menu system. It plays everything, but I is built "lightweight". Nothing has broken, but I always feel it could w/o adult supervision.

No, there is no tuner. I use with my Satellite box. It does come with an IR blaster so that you can change channels remotely.

You do not buy a Television (Display) to emulate a PC, of course you do not have a web browser on a VISIO M701d-A3R. It is a Smart TV that has wireless and wired access to an Internet Modem/Router that has Gigabit speeds for streaming Video content that is accessed via Apps that each manufacturer determines by agreements with Internet providers. Visio has included the most popular Apps that users want and some others that access things like a weather channel, shopping, music access like Pandora. Before you buy any Smart TV you have to do research for each manufacturer to know the variety of Apps that they have agreements to enable them building (Programming) the APP that connects their product to the APP's server, every common APP (ie; Netflix) is customized for the electronic functionality of the device that you purchased. If you want an Internet browser just connect your IPAD, Desktop, Laptop to the appropriate VISIO input and have a go at doing your browsing, email and your streaming in one location.

As far as I know, it is just used as a monitor. I don't believe it even has a tuner. Lee
