    An antenna is cheap, comparatively. ;)

    Yes, but apparently there's some new TVs that don't have a tuner. Yes, when they went to all digital, you had to get a converter box to retrofit an older non digital TV. Even the 80 dollar TV's have tuners from my quick perusal on Walmarts site.

    I guess i don't know the difference between a tuner and antenna. I just kinda figured one in the same.

    If you don't have a tuner, no need for an antenna...

    True but thinking of it in term of a radio they are definitely two different parts. I guess I've been confused in terms of the tv because I've seen tvs with and without the digital antennas.

    I can't hardly believe they'd make a tv without a tuner. It's just a screen then. Tvs can at least be used for weather warnings and whatnot.

    Tuner is the difference between a television and a monitor.

    Bingo. In order to be a TV, according to the FCC, it has to have a tuner.
