Yes, as I posted today the inexpensive Visio TV appears to have very good ATSC reception. And as I posted here when I got it, it also receives all my unencrypted HD QAM channels of Cox cable. And it's neat to see Sam's advertising you can really do something useful with a TV antenna. Good for them! (I even have a roof top rotor)
But I have two PCHD cards because I use them for auto timer recording and Tivo-like pause/trick play when using my PC. And on the PC even when watching live I shrink it to a small window and web browse forums like AVS or read the opendtv list during commercials.
So while I keep raving about the tuner in my new TV I never actually use the darn thing. Native TV (even HD) is totally 20th century. ;-)
