Re: [COX] Question on DTV changeover for analog VCR recording said by Joe12345678:a lot of cables systems have most of the OTA line up in clear qam. Clear QAM won't do a thing for VCRs and such that only take analog signals. Or SDTVs or even HDTVs that don't have QAM tuners built in and many don't. |

Only if they are more than two years old. My original HDTV was NTSC only for tuner, but since have had ATSC/QUAM.... actually a predicessor to the OTA digital (orig date) changeover, no TV for a year or more before that could be sold with only a NTSC tuner, if over 13".

The OP was tallking about VCRs. All TVs have been required since March 2007 to have ATSC tuners. There is no requirement for QAM tuners. And VCRs certainly don't have to have them |
