Hello. Long time reader, first time poster here!

The question I have is about the best way to get my basic cable to display on my 42" 1080p Westinghouse monitor. The display has no tuner of any kind on it and I just want to be able to view my 90 or so basic cable channels on it. It has every type of input, asides from Coaxial. I'm looking for something that would have a remote and be under 200.00(the cheaper the better!). I'm just a little fuzzy on all the atsc/ntsc/qam stuff and not sure exactly what I need.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

ATSC/NTSC = Over The Air programming
QAM = Encoding used for most cable systems

You may want to buy locally in case your not able to pick up the channels you're expecting to pick up with the QAM tuner. Or buy from a place with a generous return policy.
