Yes. They are forcing a transition away from OTA broadcasting. In short, if a device has an NTSC tuner it must have and ATSC tuner, et al. Looks like the days of NTSC tuners in every box are numbered. LCD panel displays, not big screen HDTV displays are the replacement for the cheap NTSC/cable ready receivers we have been buying for the past few decades. And almost all of them are being sold as monitors... Dual use monitors that can be used for both lean forward and lean back applications.
