I own a 26' Samsung LCD (LN-S2652D) and my brother just bought an Insignia (NS-LCD32). When he plugged his tv into our cable system he picks up multiple HD channels, I on the other hand can't seem to pick any of them up. Any ideas... we live in the same house and no he isn't using an off are antenna.

Your TV doesn't have QAM tuner. Apparently, his does.

So a QAM tuner is needed to pick up channels right off a cable system... can you buy a QAM tuner and how much does on cost?

Just get an HD box from your cable co.
