I read a little about QAM tuners in the Hit and Mits integrated RPTV sets being able to pick up digital locals from cable companies. After wading through all of the legal info, FCC's/congress' intent, speculation, etc. I am still not clear how this works. Are any integrated Mits or Hits owners getting digital locals (and HD) with basic cable (w/out the cable co's STB, digital cable, and all the other junk they usually insist that you have)?
If so, are you splitting the signal and connecting one to the digital tuner and one to the analog? Is there any way to do this and still get OTA digitals with antenna (how w/only one digital coax input?)
Thanks. Depending on the answers to these questions, I may see if analog cable in my area looks any better than satellite on my new RPTV.
to mod: I put this under RPTV forum in lieu of HDTV reception forum to get responses from Hitachi and Mitsubishi integrated RPTV owners specifically. Sorry if this is wrong.
