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.
