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.
