What's the point, in 2009 most ota channels will be gone, am i correct? the cable company will be pushing advertisment heavy digital cable on everyone.
why don't they release digital tuners for the masses instead.
I agree. I don't understand why tuners are being released without cable-cards b/c without them there is no chance I will be buying them, with HD channels being my primary content. I'm still waiting for the right solution... HD recording with NDAS or at least USB HD storage.
Not only will ATSC OTA signals still be around, they are and will continue to be the very best HiDef signal you can tune on your TV... and they're free!
still sounds stupid... ota doesn't give me the few channels I actually watch... so its not worth it to me. I will be screwed when the digital switch hits. I will be forced to rent two settop boxes and hopefully use the firewire to control channel changing.

Over the Air ANALOG signals will be gone. Digital signals are already being broadcast and will stay. NTSC vs ATSC. QAM is for cable only.

A new era of free OTA goodness!
