Good point. A lot of Cable systems transmit TNT in HD by unencrypted  
QAM, but CNN has no HD transmission at all. None are "broadcast  
stations" by any definition.

I'm more concerned about somebody selling a product that is  
essentially useless without a free service that is provided by  
Tribune for "private use". As I've said before, I fear such use might  
mess up the deal for us all.

I would hope they have made an agreement with Tribune, but I suspect  
they have not.

These are certainly not the first folks to market a Myth system, and  
I suspect the trend will continue and grow.
