Cable IS switching multiple antennae, and fiber feeds, too.

If it is setting a pretty high bar to ask for at least one person on a digital TV mailing list using ATSC that way with only one non-switched antenna then it does not hold out much hope for future PVR'ing ATSC users.
Sure it's true that over the years I've been on this list I've always managed to set up ATSC sufficiently for my own needs, in 4 different residences and cities now. But I'm also an HDTV hobbyist, a one time physics major, and I build and repair my own computers.
I don't think something will fly if it depends upon J6P putting up multiple antennas with automatic switching. He'll just go to cable.
And, yes, I do consider that a technical limitation of the standard. But I make no representation either way for the various other standards that I've never used.
