Are these trutech tvs digtal or do you need a convertor bos to get stations

The KLV3112A does have an ATSC (digital) TV tuner included. The manual for the KLV3112A is available here: http://www.1800customersupport.com/productdocuments/KLV3112A_TruTech.pdf . The only mention of the ATSC tuner is on page 24 (page 25 of the PDF) under the use of the Display key on the remote.

Depending on your location, you may need an external antenna to view any digital broadcasts. If you use one antenna with several TVs, you may also need an amplifier. (Note: amplifiers do fail and can become filters that block some channels.) To check the recommended antenna for your location, see http://www.tvfool.com ; this site gives more specific information on the antenna needed to receive surrounding station transmitters.

I hope this helps.

This tv brand name TRUTECH tvs are specially made for Target Stores only merchindise,very limited brand name tvs,so there no universal codes exit for most of the tvs universal remotes out there.Try website like Remotes.com to buy the tv original remote.I bought one of this tv too from Target Stores.I did some research for this tv before,tvs was made for Target to trying to corner their own brand name for a little nit in the LCD tvs market.

Is the antenna the correct one for your environment? Do you have the antenna pointed at the stations you want to receive? Use antennaweb.org or tvfool.com to get an idea of the location and likely channels you can receive at your location. Antennaweb assumes an outdoor antenna but is very conservative in the list of channels you can receive. (These may match the limits of the indoor antenna.) TVfool lists the stations and the appropriate antenna that will likely receive each station.

Tall trees and buildings will block the signal. Get the antenna as high as possible. Move the rabbit ears and UHF loop to maximize your signal strength. Then make sure the TV is set to use the OTA tuner (ATSC for digtal stations). (That may mean changing the source in the setup menu.)

Then scan for channels. Move your antenna or parts of it and rescan or edit the channel list. (For some TVs there is a weak signal setup option that will let you manually enter the station number (including sub-channel). Then it will provide the signal strength information as you move your antenna.)

I hope this helps. An amplifier may help you bring in weak stations with enough signal strength for the tv to see them.

Some local broadcasting will still be in analog but this is just jor simple programming such as college stations. To get local programming such as NBC,ABC,CBS etc. you will need to get a converter since the government has mandated all broadcast be in digital to free up air space.

Note that it may be a case by case basis for some smaller areas.

Are you connected to a digtal converter or just a digital antenna? If only to an antenna then yes you will most likely pick up one or two low power UHF stations that are still able to broadcast in analog.

I have a Logitech Harmony 550 that does the job very well.

I just checked in to this for you. I found a website about this exact television. Here is the link :

It says that Target did not put up the appropriate notification on these TVs about them being only analog. You will need a converter box for this TV.

The consensus seems to be that TruTech is made by Daewoo so you might try their codes and their website for a download of any instruction manuals.

I wonder if the RF interference from the digital tuner. That box will only allow ouput either through the coax or the AV ports. If you do both you will not get a picture.

If you switch them you have to tell the box what your using for output by going through the setup process.

Is the Zenith 901 converter box for your cable TV.
