I'm curious to hear why you think cable encryption has anything to do with
getting "BOTH cable and antenna on the same TV".

Cable encryption means the TVs tuner is useless for cable, so you need
their box which doesn't use the tuner. Therefore, it is available for
antenna use.

Oh, I think I see. You were referring to a TV that has a single tuner that
can be used for cable _or_ OTA. I've never seen such a thing, but I assume
they exist.

Are you confusing tuners with inputs?
The only tuner I have ever seen was behind the F-59 connector. It has
a wide enough mouth to see all of the broadcast channels and the cable
channels if they are not encrypted. The others are simply decoders
that present the component, composite, S-video or HDMI inputs to the
display processor. HDMI also includes DRM hardware. That is why
content providers push it.
