This does appear to be consistent with the tuner order. It simply says that if you want to build a cable ready TV it must include both OTA and cable tuners. But it does not change the implications of the footnote I cited in the tuner order. It will still be possible to build "DTV Monitors" without any tuner, and a cable or DBS STB that does not include an OTA tuner.
