Best Answer: This is an ANALOG TV. Here are the specifications: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/haier-hltdc19/4507-6482_7-32474126.html?tag=mncol;psum . This TV does not contain a digital tuner and will not receive digital broadcasts; it will not display HD. To view digital programs (including HD) you will need to add a low cost converter box and an antenna or subscribe to analog cable or satellite. You will be able to view the programs, but they will not be in HD. If your husband just bought this and was told it was a HD set, he should try to return it. - R T

All HDTVs do not have a built in digital tuner. But the easy way to know if the TV has a tuner or not is simply to look on the back and see if there is an antenna coaxial input that looks more or less like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/albolte/2670529934/ (the connection on the right) If you have this coaxial input and your TV is HD and you have an antenna hooked up that is receiving the stations you want, you are good to go. - Stephen M
