This page outlines digital TV compatibility information regarding the digital cable service at Sage provided by Time Warner Cable.

QAM Tuner Support

Most televisions today are digital/QAM compliant, however less expensive budget televisions or older models may not be. To find out if your television has a QAM tuner, check the specifications in your owner's manual, or visit the manufacturer's website. The QAM Tuner Support section below list some common compatibility information.

QAM Tuner Support

A QAM tuner allows your TV to tune to digital or HD channels. Most, but not all, TV’s that were made after 2006 have a QAM tuner built in. Most Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Visio models have a built in QAM tuner. Additionally, if your TV remote has the (.) or (-) symbol button for easy tuning or is able to display channels such as 5.2 or 5-2, your TV likely has a QAM tuner.

An example of what the manual may say if the TV has a QAM tuner:

“Built in digital tuner (ATSC/Clear QAM)” or “NTSC/QAM"

An example of what the manual may say if the TV does NOT have a QAM tuner:

“ATSC / NTSC Tuner” (there will be no mention of QAM)

Below is a basic compatibility matrix. Your TV may not be listed. If this is the case, please check the TV specifications outlined in your owner's manual.
