I question the "Technical discussion" claim that perhaps "receiver" is more accurate. As used in the U.S. since the All Channels Act (more commonly called the "All Channel Receiver Act") in the 1960's, if not before, the term "receiver" means a full-blown TV set which both selects ('tunes') the channel and displays ('receives') the picture. A "tuner" is the channel-selecting component of a receiver or other device (such as a VCR or digital-to-analog converter).-- RBBrittain 03:02, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
So, according to this article, I would be able to buy a portable TV, or any TV, with complete digital reception as early as March of 2007? -- HG707 21:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
There is little rationale for this subject to be separated from that of digital tuner. At best, the facts discussed here apply equally to DVB-T and ISDB-T tuners, and all would be better covered in a combined article. algocu 17:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I went to the non-existent "HD tuner" article and got redirected here. My understanding is that having an ATSC tuner does not necessarily mean that your TV can accept an HD signal--that you need an "HDTV tuner." True? 205.157.110.11 21:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
If I bought a new TV, would I only be able to buy EDTV/HDTVs, or are there SDTVs being sold with DTV tuners inside? (I couldn't tell for certain from the above thread) - MSTCrow 21:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
A basic encyclopedia entry would start by telling us what the acronyms stand for, no? Bobbyrae 12:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
There are some serious problems with this new section, first it does not explain how a tuner works, second the definitions that it attempts to give are range from poor to wrong. For example the definition of Analog to Digital Conversion:
Analog to digital conversion, sometimes called ADC or A to D refers to a technology in which an analog signal is converted into a digital signal. In the context of an ATSC tuner, an analog TV broadcast that is broadcasted over the air is received by the ATSC tuner and converted from its original analog signal to a new digital signal that can be viewed on a digital TV set.
This is actually a poor attempt at explaining demodulation (which is also incorrectly defined separately in the article). I think we should remove this section unless someone is willing to fix it. -- Ray andrew 17:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
So, does this device convert the digital signals over the analog? I was reading this under the impression this is the type of tuner to buy for when they switch the analog TV signals off, and have digital takeover. This article references the shutdown a few times, but always talks about converting FROM analog TO digital.... shouldn't it be the other way around? Taking digital signals from the air, and converting them to an analog signal an older TV can understand? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.72.98.88 ( talk) 01:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
This article needs information about Virtual channels, which map in a confusing way to arbitrary real VHF/UHF channel numbers, it seems. - 69.87.203.112 ( talk) 01:32, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Soemone with technical knowledge needs to write up fourth, fifth sixth generation differences since these make a large difference in ATSC reception. 71.252.56.218 ( talk) 01:58, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
