How can I enlighten if my TV have a digital tuner (DTV)?
Answers: In North America, digital tuners for over the air signals are call "ATSC tuners".
To tell if your TV have one:
-If the TV was sold as a "HDTV" or "DTV", it's supposed to enjoy an ATSC tuner built in to it. "HD in place TVs" do not have a digital tuner.
-Check the specs within the owners manual or google the trade name & model of the TV to see if it has an ATSC tuner.
-If your TV's menu have an option for scaning for digital channel, then it have an ATSC tuner. If it dosen't have a route to scan for digital channels, afterwards it doesn't have a digial tuner.
Most DTVs also hold a digital QAM tuner that is used contained by some (but not all) cable systems.
As the answer above says look at the specifications for your TV.

In the US - ATSC for broadcast digital channels or QAM for cable digital channel
In the Countries that use DVB such as the United Kingdom - DVB-T or as it is commonly called Freeview
