    TV tuner question

    hey all, i tired my luck with a tv tuner a few months ago and had no luck, i had it hooked up to an antenna which got me 3 spanish channels (i dont speak spanish) LOL so I was wondering how can i get my basic like 2-60 channels with a tv tuner?? bringing a cable line into the tuner is not an option. any help would be great :) thanks

    Re: TV tuner question

    Because of the location of most peoples homes, getting any more than 6 - 10 channels over the air would be lucky. They will usually only be your local network channels abc, nbc, tbs, pbs, fox, and a few others. Without any type of cable, satellite, or ip tv coming to your home, you won't get anymore than what you have now. You could always try for a better antenna. Even so, your amount of channels are unlikely to increase though your reception quality might.
