Correct. Did you note Bert's comments yesterday about noise-figure
problems from adding NTSC in the set? Now imagine a consumer, who
doesn't know a two split from a directional tap, doing that same
connection of an NTSC tuner and a DTT set-top box to the same antenna --
oh, and also figuring out how to get the output of the set-top box back
into the TV's RF input along with those NTSC stations.

Sorry I haven't got time to note them all. FYI, the Sony SLP-0350P
DVD/VCR combo on my wife's desk has an RF output we have used to copy a
work disk because the unit prevents copying DVDs on its VCR.
TTFN,
