   Well. The Prime might be useful as an auxillary tuner just for the
locals if nothing else. I use my HDHomeRun like that now. However, it
is a bit tricky since I my antenna options are limited. If I had land 
line cable, I might be interested in the Prime just for the locals.

   Having a couple of extra tuners can help avoid conflicts even if
the tuner has a limited number of channels. Broadcast networks seem
to be less flexible in terms of scheduling. Whereas a lot of cable
networks will broadcast new shows multiple times. You aren't SOL if
you manage to miss "premiere".
