Need hd tuner for TV

I'm trying to get away from Direct TV and found out my Panasonic TC 32LX50 tv doesn't have a built in HD tuner, so I'm assuming I could buy an external tuner to go between my antenna and the TV.

Any recommendations for a tuner? I tried looking online for one but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Thanks

    They sell them pretty cheap at WALMART... WALMART also has the Digtal TV box that will convert your excellant HD TV signal back to the old analog TV signal so your older TV will watch it... Thats going backwards however haha...

    I know when the National Broadcast changed over from Analog to High Def digital TV a few years ago I threw away all of my old heavy TV sets and went to Walmart and got new LCD ones... The government issued a free Digital TV converter box back then. I never got to use mine haha... Its still in a box around here somewhere...

    No more snowy TV days for me haha... With the new digital TVs they either work very great or don't work at all haha...

    We use our CRANKUP BATWING antenna all the time and watch high def digital TV over-the-air from the local towns with excellent quality...

  • I vote for the new television also. Today's televisions come equipped, not only for over-the-air HD, but also Cable, Internet Access, and a zillion plug-in's on the back for all kinds of things, like game consoles, external DVD/Blue Ray players, and even your computer to use as a monitor. Not to mention the crystal clear screen.

    I would get one of these units which will also let hook up a usb hard drive and act as a DVR.


    Those would work for you. Worst comes to worst just buy a new tv with the tuner already in it.
