    I have a 22" Vizio flat screen I picked up on sale at Wally World. I also have a digital tuner for my laptops. I plan to pick up the tv tuner dock for my Archos 5 as soon as Best Buy starts getting them in.

    I just put a 19" in my truck and connected it to the ant with a coaxle cable. I can pick up 3-4 channels. it has a built in digital tuner. do I need something else to pick up more channels? I'm new to this so any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Older models you need a converter box.
    TV stations vary by town. Big cities you can pick up 40 or so channels.

    I have a 19" Phillips LCD.
    It been a good TV. Takes a beating and keeps on ticking.

    I'm gonna buy a 47" for the house when I get home. I'm pleased with the Phillips brand. The picture seems to be sharper than the rest I looked at.
