Originally posted August 7: Shopping for a mid-sized HDTV but on a tight budget? There's a good deal over at Walmart.ca for you! The RCA 40" 1080p LCD HDTV (RLCD4063A) is priced at $328.00 and comes with free shipping! There isn't too much product information on the Walmart page, but if you look up the model number (RLCD4063A) you'll find that this is actually a 120Hz set. It also has 3 HDMI inputs.
All in all, it looks pretty impressive for the price. This set would be a good fit for students heading off to live away from home. Thanks to form member stephroll for sharing this deal!

I own an older 720p 60hz RCA for the kid's bedroom , very solid picture .
check before you buy.
I bought one last year different model it can not receive FTA channels only receive cable channels only.
source from bestbuy
means FREE TO AIR ..which is OTA Over the Air .Which is .....over the air signal.WHOAMI needs to re-check his status lol .He might have meant .............can it get analog signal .......no .
Only very few CBC rural areas still broadcast in analog but these will be shut down in September .
I have the Seiki since last year's "price error", and been happy about it.
I believe you need an HD antenna in order to get the OTA/FTA channels since the cable connection won't pick them up.
RCA is a rebadged Curtis and the quality looked alright in the store but it only mentions ATSC not the QAM spec? Does that mean QAM ATSC and clear QAM?
The only complain I have, but not really, is that it generates more heat than usual TVs.
Wondering if this RCA can do better .
When things went digital, there was two new North American standards: ATSC (which is by antenna), and QAM (which is generally only on cable).
When someone says "OTA" they normally mean ATSC over-the-air to your antenna.
FTA is Free-to-Air which is Satellite only (and digital). I don't know of any TV that has had an FTA receiver in it, and so isn't at all relevant to this thread other than something to confuse people with.
So, relevant to this thread: this TV has an ATSC tuner which allows high definition over-the-air (to your antenna) television for free. It will likely also have an NTSC tuner, since any TV sold includes that old technology, which you can use for analog cable and CBC in remote locations. If you want to use it with digital cable, you'll need a cable box since it doesn't support QAM (and even then, you'd probably need a CableCard to get all of your stations, which is generally only in the US).
I'm sorry that you didn't find it very helpful, but hopefully someone else did (especially given the very confusing FTA/OTA posts earlier).
