<div class="im"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">For a device that is advertised to support watching TV to not</span><br></div>
support OTA is approximately the equivalent of an automobile<br>
without windshield wipers. In many climates, windshield wipers<br>
aren't needed more than 20% of the time, the percentage of TV<br>
viewers who use OTA. When I talk with a car seller, I don't<br>
expect to have to ask whether the car comes with windshield<br>
wipers, valve covers, a radiator, or head gaskets.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Absolutelly TERRIBLE analogy. You might only use your wipers 20% of the time, but essentially 100% of people use their wipers on a somewhat regular basis. Are you suggesting that 100% of people unplug their tuner card from their cable and hook it up to their antenna once a week? Even if we take your made up 20% number as fact (I have no idea what it really would be), it would be 20% that need OTA, and 80% that never need OTA. If a feature isn't used at all by 80% of the market, that makes it pretty hard to argue that they left out an essential feature. Instead of windshield wipers, I think a more appropriate analogy would be you assuming that every car has a 3000 lbs towing capacity.</div>
