TVs

My parents are thinking about getting a new tv, but noone in our family really knows much about HDTV or surround sound. I looked on amazon and I think they like the philips one on this site. http://www.amazon.com/Philips-46PP9302-Digital-Widescreen-HDTV-Ready/dp/B000066R5O/sr=1-130/qid=1161137562/ref=sr_1_130/102-4871100-3554544?ie=UTF8&s=audio-video
There are also some other tvs around 40 to 50 inches by akai. But they all say they need a tuner. What does an hd tuner do and where can I get it? also, will it connect to the tv's?

I also have some questions about sound. pretty much all of the tv's we've looked at have speakers built in, but we want to get surround sound too. The thing is that we don't know much about surround, either. I looked on amazon for those too, and I've seen sets with a special box that looks like a dvd player as well as some that say they bounce the sound waves. Do we need a box, and will normal speakers work with the 'bounce' ones?

Thanks in advance.

OK, I'm in the market for a new TV! I'd like one with a DVI input so I can hook my computer up to it and play games or DVD's or do slideshows presentations and whatnot. Obviously clarity is very important to me, but so is size. I'm been comparing prices and I can get a 51" rear projection HDTV for about the same price as a 28" LCD. The rear projection is attractive because of the size, but I am worried about the picture quality compared to the LCD. Which should I go with and if you can recommend specific makes and models and distributors, that would be great. Thanx.

I have the TERK TV32 antenna and it receives signals from all the stations which broadcast in HD however for some of the channels after like 40 seconds the viewing becomes bad because signal keeps getting lost and then coming back so basically what happens is if someone is speaking on the television it would sound like this Today.........degrees..................showers.............7 day outlook. Its really frustrating is there any way i can fix this?

Please explain when watching some programs on "digital" tv the picture does not fill the screen why? (some football matches)

Wide screen or smart mode will not.

OK, I'm sure most of us hate commercials on T.V., but specifically, what commercial do you hate the most? For me, it could either be the "Head On - Apply Directly to the Forehead" commercials where they never tell you what it's actually for (I know it's for headaches, I got so tired of wondering, I actually looked it up), or those God Damned "Jamster" commercials we were bombbarded with about a year ago asking us to send a text message to 35555 for ringtones, wallpapers, etc.

Bonus points if you can remember a commercial from years ago that we've all but forgotten about.
