With HDTV programming and availability expanding rapidly, it's the perfect time for Samsung's versatile, value-packed SIR-TS360 HDTV tuner.


This all-in-one tuner solution is the ideal companion for your HDTV-ready TV. Besides receiving all available digital (HDTV and SDTV) and analog over-the-air broadcasts via antenna (not included), the SIR-TS360 lets you subscribe to DIRECTV and High Definition DIRECTV HD satellite programming. (For DIRECTV and DIRECTV HD reception, you'll need a triple-LNB multi-satellite dish like Terk's TRK-S26.)

HDTV tuners just keep getting better when it comes to quickly and reliably pulling in and locking onto digital TV signals. That's definitely the case for the highly sensitive SIR-TS360, which is Samsung's 4th-generation HDTV tuner design. A built-in scan-rate converter and a choice of user-selectable resolutions — 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i — ensure compatibility with virtually all HDTV-ready TVs. And Samsung's speed enhancement technology offers the fastest channel-surfing yet in an HDTV tuner.

Here's a nice bonus when you subscribe to DIRECTV: the 7-day Advanced Program Guide™ seamlessly merges your satellite and broadcast channels into one easy-to-read display, including analog over-the-air stations. The tuner's phone line connection keeps the Program Guide info updated, and also permits the automatic software upgrades from DIRECTV that will keep your Samsung's features and capabilities up to date.

The SIR-TS360 is a multi-satellite tuner, so you may be able to receive your favorite local stations via DIRECTV (contact DIRECTV for local-channel availability).

A versatile set of back-panel connections includes component video, plus a DVI digital video output to connect to the growing number of HDTV-ready TVs with a matching DVI input. Composite and S-video jacks are provided for use with conventional TVs. You can also take advantage of the tuner's VCR control jack to automatically program your VCR to record a TV program — just select "Record" from the on-screen program guide. (The SIR-TS360 can simultaneously output HDTV and 480i signals, so you can easily record material with a standard VCR or DVR.)

Over 99% of U.S. households already have access to at least one over-the-air digital TV signal, and there are HDTV programs on every night of the week. It's time to join the HDTV revolution!
