Bob,
That was a contract dispute.
it affected both the analog signal and digital signal.
BOTH would not be carried if there was no agreement.

So if you need the OTA signal when there is the chance of a local station b=
eing dropped, then I see your point/need.
Thankfully that should be once in a blue moon.

For that time it is easier to just do a A/B switch when needed.

I do SageTV as well with streaming video all over my home.
So for me it is easy to drop in a extra HDhomeRun tuner for OTA and remap i=
t's signal at another block of channels in my Electronic TV guide.

I run win7 media center with quad cablecard AND two dual tuner HDhomeRun ca=
pturing the QAM signal.
I like the signal from the QAM tuners better than cablecard because there i=
s less compression.
So I watch/record 90% of my local channels from my QAM tuners.

Ray
