Hdtv Tuner Card

All about HDTV Tuners

HDTV tuners are one of the most popular HDTV accessories. Before you buy one, though, here are some basic facts you should know about them.

What is an HDTV tuner?

An HDTV tuner, also sometimes called an HDTV receiver or HDTV decoder, is an accessory which helps display HD content on your HDTV. The HDTV tuner receives the High Definition signal from sources such as cable or satellite TV providers, Blu-Ray players and HDTV-capable video game consoles, then processes it so that it appears properly on the screen of your HDTV. Without an HDTV tuner, the signals will appear as regular TV signals, preventing you from enjoying the full and genuine High Definition viewing experience.

How is an HDTV tuner different from an HDTV tuner card?

While High Definition TV tuners and HDTV tuner cards have the same function - to receive and transmit HD signals, the term HDTV tuner usually refers to an external or stand-alone HDTV tuner, more commonly known as a Set-Top-Box or STB. These are separate devices which you can connect to your HDTV. On the other hand, HDTV tuner cards usually refer to HDTV PC tuners, which, as implied, are connected to a computer via the USB or PCI port. This computer can then be connected to the HDTV via the HDMI port, DVI-D port or RGB port. Both the HDTV tuner and the HDTV tuner card have its own share of pros and cons. The HDTV tuner is easier to install, but does not always come with a recording function like the HDTV tuner card.

What is the difference between an HDTV tuner and an HDTV converter?

An HDTV tuner is a device connected to an HDTV. It receives HD signals and allows them to be displayed properly on the HDTV. On the other hand, an HDTV converter converts digital signals into analog ones so that your regular TV can still process them and display them on the screen, though not with the same superior picture quality.

Should I get an HDTV tuner?

An HDTV tuner is necessary to display signals with the superior picture quality that you expect so it is recommended for you to get one. However, some HDTVs already come with a built-in HDTV tuner. If you own one of these, then there is no need to buy any other kind of HDTV tuner.

How much do HDTV tuners cost?

HDTV tuners vary in prices. Some can be as affordable as $80 while the best ones can reach up to $400 and more.

How do I install my HDTV tuner?

Installing an HDTV tuner should be relatively easy. The most important thing is to connect it properly to your HDTV. Depending on the type of tuner you have, you should be able to find a port at the back or the side of your HDTV to connect it to. You should also be able to connect it to your antenna or other sources of HD content in order to receive the HD signals for it to transmit to your HDTV. When in doubt, consult your manual.

What HDTV tuner should I get?

Many cable and satellite TV providers offer their own HDTV tuners, which can spare you the trouble of shopping for your own. If yours does not, though, there are many for you to choose from. You can even buy your HDTV tuner online. To know which one, simply consider the features. The brand is important, too, not just so you can be assured of quality, but to ensure its compatibility with your HDTV. Take note that buying an HDTV tuner with the same brand as your HDTV is not required, although it is recommended if possible.
