Adding two tuners to a DVB STB is very easy, since the chipsets work well 
and are very inexpensive due to multiple vendor sources.  Ditto to adding 
two QAM distal cable tuners to an STB.  Adding two tuners to an ATSC STB 
could be much costlier with 5G Zenith chipsets possibly costing northwards 
of $50 each.
