And remember to set your tuner/channel priorities so that ATSC is 
preferred. If set up correctly, the scheduler will bump down the cable 
channels, preferring the non-cable available ATSC channels first (and 
second) and diverting the cable channels to the other tuner.

It may take a while to get it set correctly, but you can avoid the 
dreaded 'Conflict' announcement when there are 3 programs you want, at 
the same time, all of which are OTA, but one or more of which is also on 
cable.
