QAM codes are to do with the way digital TV is encoded. There's nothing practical you can do with a QAM code. It's like understanding how to calculate the mass of Jupiter. Great that you can do it. But it's of no practical day-to-day benefit.
Here's some reading on Quadratic Amplitude Modulation, for what it's worth.
Depends on where you get your service. Where I liveon East Coast of US, ya got to have a Comcast box (DTA Digital Transit Adapter) or better) PERIOD. Currently, there are no TV sold in my area that can beat the Comcast system. It may be different where you live.
Open up the menu. Press 0000. It will open another menu. Select others. Select Other Settings. Select QAM. Select On. Then re run the autoscan and you'll get the digital channels.

Hi. No, your tv is an older model sdtv with an analog only NTSC tuner.
Newer model have an ATSC/Qam digital tuner, but not your model.
This means that if you want to watch tv, you'll have to get a converter box. It will have the ATSC/QAM tuner i it, and it converts the signal into lower definition NTSC, and then sends it to the tv through either coax cable, or rca cables. Once in a great while you might even find one that has s-video output, but those usually are expensive.
To get HD channel form your cable TV without using the cable provider HD tuner box but using your TV Clear QAM tuner (your TV has Clear QAM tuner, my TV also has QAM tuner so I do not have to use the cabel box, but my COMCAST does not provide may Clear QAM signals like they use to) to get the unscrambled HD, the cable provider must provide those unscrambled Clear QAMsignals for your TV to pick up the signalS.

Did you use the correct setup during the tuner setup to scan the availabel cable channel per user manual?
Yes this TV should tune to both Digital & Analogue reception. See below I have copied an extract from the Philips technical site which gives you verification that this has digital capability.
Hop this is of help to you.
Next to analog NTSC broadcast reception, your TV has an integrated High
Definition TV tuner which receives, decodes and displays terrestrial ATSC and
unscrambled cable (QAM) signals.
HDTV quality is only reproduced when a broadcaster or cable provider broadcasts
HDTV signals.
The W1700 is HDTV Ready but it does not have an internal digital tuner, it only receives NTSC coded signals, not ATSQ/QAM coded signals. In order to see tv in HD you will need an external tuner with component or DVI output that you can connect to the monitors inputs.
