WHICH PRODUCT SHOULD I BUY?

Postby kevin on Thu Sep 11, 2008 1:38 pm

I have an Akai 55" projection tv #PT5598HD- Yet it has built in NTSC tuner - should I buy the converter box or a HD-tuner? I currently use an outdoor antenna that's hooked directly into the RF antenna connection on the back of TV for broadcast reception. If I buy the HD-tuner and connect this to the antenna will this override the NTSC tuner in the TV?

You may find this article useful - hd converter vs hd tuner.

In a nutshell, buy an HDTV tuner.

Do not connect it to the antenna jack! You should connect the tuner output to one of the video (not antenna) inputs of your television.
