I think that John is correct. As I understand it the regime goes something like this. If an ATSC tuner is required (per the FCC schedule) then it must be included. As Far as I know there is NO requirement to ALSO include a cable tuner. In essence, if ANY tuner is included, then an ATSC tuner must be included. If a cable or DBS system (or any manufacturer for that matter) wants to offer a cable or DBS STB, there is NO requirement that it must also include an ATSC tuner.
