Original Comment NO TUNERS IN THE NEW 4K SETS?? I cannot believe for $10 a set, you are removing the most valuable feature that makes a TV at TV. You are no longer selling TV'S now, but rather simply MONITORS. <br /> I am a CONSUMER ELECTRONIC REPAIR TECHNICIAN, with 40 years of repair history in, and find this decision to be the worst I have ever run across from ANY MANUFACTURER EVER. The idea that you would remove the TUNERS from you sets when the GOVERNMENT REQUIRES ALL DIGITAL TV STATIONS in the USA to broadcast an over the air signal is simply crazy. How dare VIZIO penalize the very people that put them where they are today to save a few dollars per set. People on tight budgets bought Vizio sets back when they were cheaply made and priced. Now the same people that cannot afford or do not want satellite or cable cannot purchase a new 4K Vizio set and connect a simple antenna to it. WHY? Because the TUNER is no longer included!! <br /> <br /> I really hope this terrible decision backfires on you, and you bring back TUNERS in all your sets. MAKE TV'S NOT MONITORS. Not everyone wants to have to stream to their set or use a smart phone or tablet to change programs. KEEP IT SIMPLE!! Produce normal easy to use TV'S with a standard REMOTE CONTROL. Think about Senior Citizens....they don't want all that complication to watch their tv. <br /> <br /> It's bad enough all the manufacturers put clock radio speakers in their tvs all almost all price points that require many people to have to purchase Sound Bars or connect to a Stereo system just to be able to understand the otherwise garbled sound. <br /> <br /> I will now only recommend brands with a TUNER built in to the set to my customers and will no longer recommend the Vizio brand unless the customer thoroughly understands that they will NOT be able to receive over the air broadcasts without purchasing an external TUNER...........a total step backwards....Remember the converter boxes back in the late 2000's??<br /> THE FACT IS THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE IN FACT GOING BACK TO ANTENNAS. For one, the over the air signal produces a better picture than Cable or Satellite.....that is a fact, as this signal is not compressed. As a TECH, I have seen the pictures side by side. Additionally, more and more people are discovering that with the new DIGITAL TV STATIONS, many broadcast several stations from the same tower and in many cities now, there are 30-50 stations all available for FREE if you have a tuner in your set and an Antenna to connect. <br /> <br /> Thanks for reading!
