OIT delivers WolfTV in Clear QAM format, so you’ll need a TV with a QAM tuner. Most major-brand TVs manufactured after 2010 have one, but some do not.
Saint Joseph’s University has put together a comprehensive guide to televisions with QAM availability (external link).
Before you buy
- WolfTV cannot provide a specific list of manufacturers that provide QAM tuners in their television sets.
- It is your responsibility to make sure that the TV can receive a QAM signal.
- An ATSC or digital tuner, per se, is not necessarily QAM-compatible.
- Please see the lists below, but note that neither list is complete.
Manufacturers likely to have a QAM tuner:
- LG
- Panasonic
- Samsung
- Sharp
- Sony
NOTE: Some models of the above manufacturers do not have a QAM tuner, and you may need a code to activate the TV. Consult the manufacturer for details about a particular model.
Manufacturers with many models that may not have a QAM tuner:
- Element
- Seiki
- Upstar
Some Upstar models can receive a QAM signal if the firmware is updated. For details, contact Upstar technical support: 877.908.6777, ext. 3. - Newer Visio models (2016 or newer)
- Westinghouse
Additional Tips
- Consult with a knowledgeable sales person to determine if the TV you want is QAM capable.
- For a particular TV model, go to its manufacturer’s website and search for the model number.
The specifications for that model should indicate whether it is QAM compatible.
