So I'm shopping for a new TV and want one that will bring in as many OTA channels as possible, but I'm not sure what the alphabet soup of tuner specs means.
Looking at a 19" Insignia and it says it has a digital tuner as follows "ATSC, 8-VSB, Clear-QAM".
Is this good? What should I be looking for?
What model TV is the "old bedroom TV"? There may be nothing wrong with it. The problem could be in the wiring. Try the new TV in the same location in the bedroom before purchasing another one. If it also gets poor reception you will know there is a problem with the cabling and not the TV itself.
