Actually, it's highly unlikely your TVs have analog tuners in them.
They are digital. But what you mean is they are not ATSC.

Thanks for the link, folks. I just signed up for 2 TVs and got an OK for

I saw this the other week on a laptop that had a defective power cable

Is the battery being charged?
