Thank you for your inquiry.
The LG - 49" Class (48-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 3D - 4K Ultra HD TV - Black ? Model # 49UB8500 has 3 built-in tuners, an ATSC tuner, a QAM tuner and an NTSC tuner.
The tuner you're inquiring about is referred to as an ATSC tuner. An ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) tuner, often called an ATSC receiver or HDTV tuner is a type of television tuner that allows reception of digital television (DTV) television channels transmitted by television stations in North America, parts of Central America and South Korea that use ATSC standards.
The FCC issued the following mandates for devices entering the US:
By July 1, 2005 all televisions with screen sizes over 36 inches (91 cm) had to include a built-in ATSC DTV tuner
By March 1, 2006 all televisions with screen sizes over 25 inches (64 cm) had to include a built-in ATSC DTV tuner
By March 1, 2007 all televisions regardless of screen size, and all interface devices that include a tuner (VCR, DVD player/recorder, DVR) had to include a built-in ATSC DTV tuner...IFV
