Another option is that they agreed, but didn't think
the objection was pertinent. This might be a matter of

To me, an "STB with integrated PVR" is nothing more
than a hard drive recorder with integrated ATSC or
digital cable tuner. So this should be part of the
tuner mandate/CE manufacturers agreement.
