Haven't looked into this in about 4 years.
Considering buying an HD TV and I don't see anything about ATSC in the specs for (LG new LEDs for example).
Do TVs all have tuners these days for OTA?

It is best to check the manufacturing date on the back. Anything older than 2008 you should dig a little deeper to find out if it indeed have a ATSC tuner, Canadian law does not limit sales of older TVs with just an analog tuner so merchants in the US shipped all these older analog only units to Canada where the law is lax. The newer models coming out will only have an ATSC tuner as now both the US and Canada has switched over to digital.
