I happened to be in a control room in a New York Network facility a few
days ago. It happened to be near a window. They used plasma displays
for monitoring many feeds. One of the displays had a DTV tuner in it.
The engineer who worked in the room had gotten an antenna (one that I
think is junk, by the way) and put it in the window. "Look at this," he
said. He showed me stable reception of eight DTV stations (not counting
subchannels, of course.) There was only one that I couldn't tune, and
I'm not sure they were on the air anyway.
I'm not sure what the main point of this example is, but it does show
that tuners, even in devices obviously intended to be "monitor" will
sometimes get used. I don't know if this device had the much ballyhooed
"5th generation" tuner in it, but even I was surprised by how well it
worked, considering the whole installation.
