Is there somewhere online where I can see whether a certain model of television set has a digital tuner?

I'd like to see either a list of digital and analog models, or some sort of database where the user can input a TV model number and find out whether the TV has a digital tuner.

    Best Buy's website is excellent with it's detailed information.

    But if you WANT info on an Older model, you literally have to go to the Manufacturer's website and Look up the instruction manual for that specific model....

    Now a DIGITAL TUNER only tells you it can recieve the Digital signal, but the video coming out of a DIGITAL tuner is only 480 line signal.....

    An ATSC Digital Tuner provides 1080 lines of HD signal....

    So beware the Tuner specifications in the TV's spec sheet...

    And QAM is a CABLE tuner, normally included in an ATSC tuner too.....
