You need a set-top box with a digital tuner. (For HD, you will need an HD digital source if you have cable or satellite. For OTA, you need one of those HD tuners; the digital-to-analog converters available with the government coupon last year were SD units.) You may be able to use a computer with a USB or PCI card tuner. However, you may be limited to the VGA input on the TV unless you use a converter or have a video card that can output in a TV format. (I can't find the specs for the DVI on the TV to tell if it is compatible with the RGB of the default computer signal.)

If you are getting an OTA signal, you will need an appropriate antenna pointed at the transmitter. Use antennaweb.org or tvfool.com to find out the direction of the stations you should be able to receive. antennaweb is very conservative in the list it provides even though it assumes an outdoor antenna. tvfool gives more information on the antenna for each station in your area. Note: tall trees and buildings can block the signal even if you should get a signal. Digital signals are either enough for the tuner to read or no signal. An amplifier may be needed if you share your signal between several devices.

I hope this helps.

Does this t.v. has a high definition tuner, and if not which high definitiion converter would you reccomend! Thank You

All flat panel TV's are HD. The old style TV's are not HD even with a converter box. The converter box changes a digital signal into a analog signal. Flat panel TV's operate on a digital signal only.

I have 65 inch pro elite 710hd 6 years old. Do I have to get analog box

hello,
Yes you still have to get digital to analog converter. Although you can feed a hd signal through the component inputs, the tv is still set up to only receive analog signals through the coaxial input
hope this helps

Go 730 not sending a fm signal

Hi,

If you have made a recent update this may be the reason you may have lost your FM transmission!!

Tom Tom disabled silent FM transmission on these units to comply with the law in certain countries which prohibit these FM transmissions. Later updates configured the units to output lower strength FM transmissions.

There is a possible workaround for this - see this link for a discussion on the issue.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa

It is digital (HD), I don't need converter?

If your set is labeled as "HD ready" then it will accept HD signals from, for example, an external HD tuner or other source. The set can be HD Ready, as is my Samsung TV, but my set has only the older NTSC type tuner. I therefore use a digital stream HD tuner which works great to receive over the air signals. Also digital does not mean a set is HD. There are sets that are standard definition digital sets that can receive digital signals, but do not produce HD. If you are using cable, in most cases, you can continue receiving your cable as usual.

Can the tuner be upgraded to get digital signals?

There is no way to directly change the internal tuner to receive digital/HD signals. I would simply purchase an external tuner unit, but be sure to get one that has at least component signal outputs and is HD. You want to be able view HD & not just digital. One of the small tuner boxes would get digital, but not HD. I personally have a Digital Stream tuner with a set I own and have been very pleased with it. The tuner has many extra features and also has an NTSC output I use for recording with a regular vcr. Shop for an HD tuner unit. You will be impressed by the kind of performance you will get from this set.

Want to change my sharp hd tv from 480i to 1080p

You Can Not Change. The TV Recognize the signal on the INPUT.
If the signal is 480i than the tv shows 480i
If the signal is 1080p than the tv shows 1080p (if supported)
If you try with your areal antenna (for now digital broadcast is maximum 1080i (in USA) The TV itself doesnt "upconvert" lower resolution signals.

Switching to digital

No. The change only effects people that use rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna. If you receive cable now, no change is necessary. You will not be able to receive the HD channels, but you can't receive thiose now either. An HD set will show you the HD signals that your current Standard Def set can not show. Please note that your current set has a digital tuner but processes analog signals. The "digital" tuner that is requried for rooftop reception is to process digital broadcasts as the analog signals will no longer be broadcast.

I hope this helps,
Dan
