Wow, I actually found a TV with no composite or component input. Just an antenna input and 4 HDMI ports. (So at least we're kinda good for HDMI...)

I don't even know if the antenna input accepts an analogue signal. Is that required on new TVs? Because these days you probably won't get an analogue signal from anything that's not a VCR...

@noiob What? I like ATSC. Have you seen what ATSC TV looks like?

@onfy I don't care what it looks like, I just foolishly assumed there was only one digital terrestial tv standard

@noiob Oh don't worry, there's not even two like there more or less was with analogue video. (Weird things like SECAM and PAL-M aside.)

I think Japan at least has their own TV standard.

@noiob It's also fun trying to find software to tune ATSC TV, since most of these programs are written by Europeans, and thus tested primarily against DVB signals. Hello random glitches because I'm a stupid Canadian.
