do all versions of silicon dust tuners work witg digital ota?
The wide and I are going to drop cable in the next month or so. With two kids we just don't have the time anymore.
With that being said I still have one of the silicon dust dual tuners, but I annotated sure id it works for ota stuff now that everything is digital. I am going to grab an antenna and just plug it into the runner but if it doesn't work what will I need since its a coaxconnwction? |

The Prime (cablecard) doesn't, but the rest do (unless you're talking one of the european DVB-T ones).

Search these forums for "OTA". There are quite a few threads discussing OTA reception, antennas, installation, etc. The type of antenna that will work best for you is dependent on where you live, where the broadcast towers are located with respect to you, what's in between (hills? buildings? trees?), where you locate the antenna, house construction (if you put it indoors, such as an attic), etc.
Check out www.tvfool.com, put in your info, take a screenshot of your results and post. Lots of people will be willing to comment.
