I'd rather see an integrated analog tuner, like those in EVERY new HDTV capable receiver sold in the U.S. today. It was sheer stupidity to remove (or disable) these tuners from the NTIA DTV box specifications.

By the way, the NTIA specs do allow for a smart antenna interface, however I have not seen this feature in any NTIA approved box.
