Are you interested in receiving high definition TV WITHOUT the need for a special high-definition cable box? AMU Digital Cable makes that possible IF you have the correct type of Television!

A QAM tuner will only tune to channels that are unscrambled. Other scrambled (or encrypted) digital cable channels require a subscription to AMU Digital Or HD Cable service and a set-top box.If you would like to receive any of the other great high definition channels on the AMU lineup, like the Big Ten Network, HD Theater, ESPN, NFL, and others, you'll want to upgrade to the AMU HD tier.

*Not all channels listed are in High Definition. On some TV's the "•" in the channel numbers may be substituted for a "–".
Most QAM Tuner TV's have a "channel search" or "auto program" function that will automatically scan the incoming signals and detect the channels that are available. It may be necessary to do a channel search before your TV will allow you to tune to that channel.
How Do I Know If My TV Has a QAM Tuner?
Check your TV's owner's manual, or talk to the store where you purchased the TV. Another hint, If your TV remote control has a (•) or a (–) button on it, it probably means the TV has a QAM tune as you need to use the (•) or a (–) button to tune to the digital channels.
