It doesn't sound like it with the software on your set. TVs are not
really designed for OTA it seems.

Nonsense. They wouldn't scan multiple cable inputs eiher, without
erasing the earlier ones.

Some (most?) cable systems now encrypt everything, requiring you to use
their box instead of the TV tuner.

Because of this I can get BOTH cable and antenna on the same TV.

They add it as an afterthought and
only meet the minimum government requirement.

So the TV makers were planning to ignore the millions of people who
didn't have cable. LOL

So antenna users need an add-on tuner and those without an antenna don't
have to pay for it.

I am seeing more "monitor only" TVs these days with no tuner at all,
just some HDMI ports and maybe a combo set of composite/componant
jacks.
