Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

RCA's ATSC11 high-definition TV tuner is the perfect stepping stone from analog entertainment to the digital world. The tuner connects to most TVs, though of course you'll derive the greatest benefit when using it with an HD-ready television (projection, CRT, or flat-panel). The ATSC11 receives digital HD and SD (standard-definition) ATSC terrestrial broadcasts and outputs 480i and 480p, 720p, or 1080i--simply select the format and resolution that's right for your set.

The tuner makes it easy to locate information on available HD programming through its onscreen digital program guide. And, you'll enjoy the purest digital signal transmission available with the receiver's DVI output. Video connections include component-video, S-video, and standard composite-video, and the tuner even comes with a handy adapter to convert its DVI output into a computer-monitor-friendly RGB signal.

Choose between optical and coaxial digital-audio outputs for passing Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround to a compatible AV receiver and multichannel speaker system to fully immerse yourself in your programs' sounds.

What's in the Box
DTV receiver, remote control, remote batteries, detachable AC power cord, composite-video/stereo analog audio interconnect, component-video interconnect, 1 RGB-to-DVI video adapter, and user's manual.

This review is from: RCA ATSC11 High Definition Tuner (Electronics)

Beach Audio delivered a brand new, non-refurbished unit that was manufactured in 2003. Made in Korea. You don't need an HDTV to enjoy the wonder of HD using this RCA receiver - simply switch its output to 480i and 4:3/zoom. Or, if your TV has an enhanced 16:9 mode for viewing DVD's, and you want to watch almost any primetime network program these days, you are set! Switch the output of the ATSC11 to 16:9/full, put your TV on 16:9 enhanced...and just like that, the picture is downright awesome! As good or better than DVD, and clearly the biggest bang for the buck you can find today if you want to see HD.

I am viewing on a Sony 27FS120 that I calibrated myself, and using our old analog roof TV antenna to pick up the HD signals. The ATSC11 runs pretty hot so if it's safe to do so in your living space I recommend that you remove its (well vented) cover and leave it exposed to open air. Just remember to give it a treatment from a dust can once a week or so. *Including* the cost of the Sony television, I am now enjoying beautiful, widescreen, noise-free HD programming in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound - all for around $450. Best of all, off-air HD is 100% FREE.

It's true that an HD television would look better. But if you want your network shows to look as good as your DVD's, and you aren't ready to upgrade to an HD television, you cannot go wrong with this excellent receiver. Heck - it's got such great connectivity that if you just HAVE to see all of that high definition, plug your computer monitor into it. Awesome.

This review is from: RCA ATSC11 High Definition Tuner (Electronics)

At first I was debating whether this tuner would be any good - primarily since it was going for half price of the more popular samsung and humax models I was looking at. There were plenty of reviews for those, but not many for this rca model. I went out and gave it a try - I'm glad I chose this instead! At the time I recieved the shipment, I had no antenna to hook up with it. I had a pair of $1 bunny ear antenna's lying around - gave it a shot, the tuner picked up 16 channels with it - I didn't even have to try hard, I just extended the bunny ears and left it on the floor! The quality was superb! I have yet to hook it up with one of the specially made HDTV antennas. Already, I am satisfied with this tuner.

I wanted to buy RCA ATSC21 modal, but the price was too high($400+?), So I bought this one. Here is what I found:
ATSC11 received all the local channels with my motorola booster and a regular antenna. It received about 50% when the booster is off. It has DVI, Component and S-video ouputs, two audio outputs and a optical port for D-Digital. I used the component video. Format selection switch is on the back to select 1080i/780p/480p/480i.(also another switch for DVI or component output selection) I love the remote control as it controls my VCR, DVD player, TV, SAT-Reciver and this tuner!!.
