Infoseite // Will an LCD Television with NTSC tuner in the U.S.?

Frage von macstone:


Hello,

I want a new LCD Television to buy, because my old mind has abandoned. End of the year I will be for professional reasons in the U.S. and I will move naturally avoid me there again to buy a new television to have.

I've seen that in Germany it is quite a lot of TV, both PAL and NTSC support so synonymous. As such, it should therefore not be a problem, such a synonymous Television in the United States to use - the power supply is no problem.

Where I all but am not so sure, is the tuner. As I read, for example in the technical data of a Sony TV:

Analog Antenna Tuner - YES
Digital Antenna Tuner (; MPEG-2) - YES
Digital TV Cable Tuner (depending on provider) - YES
High Definition TV Tuner (; MPEG-4) - H.264 (depending on provider) - YES

Analog TV Tuner - YES
Digital Cable Tuner - NO
Digital Satellite Tuner - NO
Digital tuner antenna - YES

Reception CATV - S1-S20
Reception HYPER - S21-S41
Reception UHF - E21-E69
Reception VHF - E2-E12

Everything beautiful and good, but I can so synonymous "normal TV" in the U.S. receive? What should I do? Is it when the NTSC Television supported? Does he have a tuner?

Thank you!

Antwort von deti:

Normal television in the U.S. there is not. The tuner in a Glotze there is usually not used. Instead, there are almost only cable TV, in which a set-top box from their cable provider is supplied. About this box, all programs (free and pay-TV and pay per view ") and received via video (with the newer boxes HDMI) led to the Television.

The situation is similar with the little-used ATSC TV, which in our example corresponds to DVB-T, but because of the poorer transmission standards relatively sensitive to disturbance.

Satellite TV is available in USA only in the pampas, where no cable is getting.

Conclusion: your Television has only 60Hz via HDMI, which is now all on the market models can be. With old STBs that do not yet have HDMI outputs, needs to Glotze nor an NTSC decoder, which is synonymous with almost all current models be the case.

Thank you for the expert answer.
ATSC is s.dem 19th June 2009, the old NTSC in the U.S. replaced. Is it synonymous then be irrelevant if I am with my deusch Television (without ATSC) in the United States wants to watch TV? I assume that it is only relevant if I find one of the most popular cable offerings and instead wants to renounce his American counterpart to the German DVB-T wants to use. Is that correct?

Antwort von deti:

For ATSC, as here in Germany for DVB-T, various STBs on the market. So there for you the possibility of synonymous ATSC retrofitting. What do you think, where the whole universal remotes come? America is the country where you can always at least two remotes to watch TV needed ;-)

I do not know how you move (containers?), Because in many cases, you should consider the transportation costs synonymous.
At your place, I would now what to buy cheap (maximum 500 euro) and then only in the U.S. provide a better device.

To view the television standards, however, I would not worry. Each current LCD TV with less than "HD Ready" may be the entire range p.60-Hz standards (up to 1080i/60) play.

Quote: I assume that it is only relevant if I find one of the most popular cable offerings and instead wants to renounce his American counterpart to the German DVB-T wants to use. Is that correct? Even then it is not relevant, because it's just for ATSC set-top boxes are as for cable / satellite. Any box you will use one way or another.

Quote: Satellite TV is available in USA only in the pampas, where no cable is getting. Can we not say that. The major satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network, you can use anywhere, and they can be an alternative to cable's (depending on what the cable-spot offers). Especially for German in the U.S. Dish Network is very interesting, because you can subscribe there ProsiebenSat.1Welt - which in most American cable networks is still lacking.

Generally speaking, cable and satellite in the United States (equally) expensive fun. Hence, the new ATSC when s.entsprechenden place halfway to work, have an interesting alternative.

Since almost all switching power supplies are installed, I know little more devices that can not directly connect s.115V could. These are incredibly cheap Euro-USA/Hongkong-Male-

So: The most important requirement is a television, is definitely for 115 V/60Hz voltage is suitable.

Devices that are sold in Europe, may be to only 99.9 percent of the NTSC video inputs accept, so they have no channel for the U.S. grid suitable analog tuner or ATSC digital tuner. However, many cable and satellite TV services in the U.S. already receive their own boxes, via the analog or digital YUV be connected via HDMI. The should be a Europe with TV function.
