[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 576321, member: 56239"] Like [I]what[/I] guys? I never said I could not tune ATSC channels, in fact, I was trying to address the OPs issue about QAM. Specifically I stated: "I was scanning channels there was language/options for QAM on the window..." I can scan ATSC channels just fine.
