I have to agree that there probably are not anymore analog broadcasters. If there are then they are in very remote areas and have very limited range. The Phillips tv does a great job with digital stations though.

You can not. I bought this unit for this exact reason, and it won't do it. I felt very ripped off because that was the purpose of the purchase. you are going to have to buy a different tv.

I'm not sure you can. Most stations switched to digital. I believe only a few low powered analog stations remain. The antenna supplied with the unit will pick up whatever it can in your ares

No one seemed to mention you can buy a $20 signal amplifier and an extra coaxial cable at Radio Shack and you should get a little better quality TV. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2463965&cp;=2032057.2032187.2032189.2032207&parentPage;=familyThese where all over my house back in analog days.HDMI is the way to go for the DVD issue. Upconverting DVD players sell for as low as $40 on slickdeals and HDMI cables are a couple of bucks on monoprice

Thanks for the kind response. Unfortunately, none of the efforts resulted in this TV to scan all digital and analog channels under the same "digital and analog channel search" function.Amazon.com support was excellent in sending a new replacement with just a simple phone call, as this unit apparently has a faulty tuner.

Yes, you can hook up a Digital converter box using HDMI or component cables. For me, it is the only way to get HDTV. There is NOT a QAM tuner in this model, so you will only get analog channels when you do the scan for channels. The term "digital" for this TV is misleading in my opinion.

Right now I only have the vcr/dvd combo player hooked up to the tv as well as the cable tv antenna and I still have three ports left . One is an HDMI port the other is a USB port and the other one says PC-IN RGB . So it looks like you may be able to hook all of those things up to this TV .

Yes; however, you will still require a digital converter box (converts digital to analog) as older TVs do not understand digital signals without external aid.

Hi, The DVD player Support just support the Analog TV, but not digital TV. Hope you can install the antenna and the channel search. Hope this helps.

Considering you have an LCD TV it would serve you better to order "Component video-YPbPr / VGA To HDMI Converter With Auto Up-scale" http://amzn.to/Vv5wtB so you could take advantage of the digital features of your TV. The TV-pc79 is an excellent product but it is more fit for older analog TVs. I hope you take this into consideration as you may not be satisfied with the picture quality for your TV.

The local channels have all gone to digital, and if you have a digital tv, this antenna picks up the local stations. It will NOT convert an older tv (analog) to a digital. You still need a digital converter for that.

If you have a analog TV, your digital TV converter can act as a tuner. I have a smart antenna and I connect the smart antenna to the converter. Then, I connect the digital converter to the VCR/DVD Recorder with RCA cables.

I don't use the tuner as I get input from my DirecTV box. However, as I look at the specs, it has a PAL-BGH tuner. In you search wikipedia for this tuner, it appears to be analog not digital.

get a digital converter box and an indoor antenna and you can get 60 or 70 free tv stations

You can't. There's only one analog input and the optical option from the tv

Don't quite understand what you're asking. This unit will take a digital out from something, either with optical or rca and turn it into analog, so you can use older receivers, etc

My TV is analog and I pulled signal with no converter box. But the antenna wasn't great for my area, which could have been a geographical issue, but a cheap $10 pair of rabbit ears worked best for me.
