Somewhere else I read that only the (recent) gen OTA tuners
have the needed support (and due to the channel numbering
(i.e. cable numbering), I suspect that is a restriction likely to
stay for at least now since overlapping channels on the same
device only leads to badness).  If you have a recent gen OTA
tuner it should not need to have an actual antenna attached, just
the most recent firmware to provide the gateway functionality.
