Can an ATSC tuner in an HDTV read a DVD zone 2?

[julax]

Hi I am a newbie. I have a regular tube tv with a DVD player that can read all zones.

I want to buy a new HD flat screen TV and I was wondering if it will still read my DVD zone 2 no matter what. I dont know if the ability of reading multizones is connected to the tuner or the DVD player.

Thank you for your help!

The ATSC tuner has nothing to do with it. You should have no problems connecting your DVD player to your new TV (composite, s-video, component, HDMI) and watching exactly the same things you could watch before.

There is one remote possibility of a problem: if your old TV supported both NTSC and PAL input and your new TV only supports NTSC you will run into problems if the DVD player outputs NTSC for NTSC discs and PAL for PAL discs. But multisystem TVs are rare in North America. Even if that turns out to be a problem you can probably set the DVD player to convert PAL to NTSC. That is probably what your player is doing already. What DVD player are you using?
