I happened to run across an LG HDTV in a hotel room in DC, but it had
been crippled (via hotel-related software, I assume) so that I could not
use the RF input. At the time I wondered how that would fly in view of
the tuner mandate. It did have a tuner inside, I just couldn't use it.
The details about how I tried to make it work are fuzzy now, but yes, I
did have an OTA antenna with me and even an old (3rd or 4th generation)
set-top box, too, for an unrelated use.

My information is purely anecdotal. I know of no one who has actually
tested these newer cable ready sets under real world conditions.

You may have information that I don't, but I cannot say that the new
INTEGRATED LG sets are not as good as the box I tested. No one has
brought any integrated set here. It's a little tough to schlep them
into my bedroom. I can report only that no non-integrated receiver has
yet performed as well as the 5th-generation LG prototype, still the only
box to have received stable DTT on all Manhattan channels (roughly 2
miles away) with a set-top antenna.
TTFN,
Mark
